Double check something else with Bill if you still have him available...

Sorry -- Bill departed yesterday, after spending two nights in "his" suite.
I've already thought of ten new questions for his next visit!

So here's the kicker, I recall reading that you could make a torch out of
a T-Shirt on a stick, light it, dunk it in a bucket of JP-12 and the JP-12
would do nothing but extinguish your torch...JP-12 was anything BUT
explosive and it required immense pressures to get it to ignite (fumes, of
course, are a different kettle of fish.)


True. As Bill put it, JP-12 was the "worst diesel fuel around" -- it just
wouldn't burn.

This turned out to be a good thing on many occasions.
