Fuel so good, only one afterburner can kicked in. The other one wouldn't ignite.

It seems there's a never ending indication of corruption connected to Obama and the stimulus money he seems to use for paying off his supporters.
Isn’t this the ethanol subsidy that Newt was paid to promote and he still supports it?
Nothing short of tar and feathers for the whole of the Washington establishment will stop this madness.
The way things are going in the United States, we can no doubt look forward to the day when America’s naval fighter jets are piloted by lesbians and powered by whale sh*t.
Lead.
The high cost is indicative of the fact that it takes more energy to produce it than it generates. The blended price really is a lie to cover up the true cost.

Rope and trees have the advantage of being re-usable - not to mention, ‘eco-friendly’......
In just the last few months the U.S. has become a net exporter of refined fuels, according to Energy Department statistics. Exports have been running ahead of imports by 467,000 barrels a day, with much of the fuel going to Latin America and South America.
Ah ,friend of Obama needing some cash
This kind of thing is not only nuts but criminal when we have oil reserves that the RATS and enviro whack jobs won’t let us go after. Then there’s the Keystone pipeline that Obama and thugs are doing what they can to stop.
Anyone hear the results of the Navy test of algae created bio-fuel for ships?

When the Air Force was using JP-4, you had to report receiving fuel from Air Force tankers when you went back to the ship. Evidently mixing of JP-4 and JP-5 (the Navy jet fuel) produced a much lower flashpoint. You weren't allowed to bring that airplane into the hangar bay with mixed fuel.
Excellent point. I didn’t know that about the mixing of fuels.
When you mix the two fuels I think you got a flash point lower than either of the two fuels by themselves. That was interesting and scary at the same time.

Yes, it makes perfect sense the Navy would use a higher flashpoint fuel with the planes being stored below the flight deck.
Thanks for the info.
Good eye, it sure looks that way.
