RST Engineering
As most of you know, I threw a jug in east BF Wyoming coming home from

Engine on Global Flyer by
Brent
They're saying the Global Flyer's jet engine burns 102 pounds of fuel an
hour. If that kind of fuel weighs in at 6 pounds per gallon, that's
about 17 gallons an hour, or roughly double what I burn in the little
Cherokees I fly. Then again, the jet propelled the Flyer about 2 times
as fast with a...

?? Chemistry of fire retardant?? by
vincent p. norris
I read in a recent Av Leak that the stuff fire-bombers drop is a
mixture of phosphate fertilizer and water.
Can anyone tell me how the phosphate functions as a fire retardant?
Is it ammonium phosphate, sodium phosphate, or what?

into history on man's first powered flight, modern-day aviators sought

Hello Tom,
Thanks for the tips. I found that when I use the "raw data" it does work as
you say (http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA/sectionals/current/). Is
this what you are using?
