Unfortunately, while my super-secret YF-12 replica is all finished, signed off
and ready to fly, I can't seem to find any Black Bird gas - at ANY price!
Won't be able to get there in time, Jay...
What, you can't get an autogas STC on one of those?
With the way it leaks (just like Black Bird), when on the ground, on mogas,
you have to file an EPA impact statement for every taxi move under power.
and for a take-off. AND, you can't fuel the bird until the impact statements
have been approved. That's a circa 3-year lead-time, per flight. You didn't
get your announcement out *soon*enough*. GRIN
