CESSNA TO OFFER DIESEL SKYHAWK
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...971-full.html#
196294)
Cessna will offer the 172S Skyhawk with a Thielert turbo diesel
engine with deliveries to start in mid-2008. In an announcement at
AOPA Expo in Hartford, Conn., Cessna officials said the decision to
offer the diesel came after extensive market surveys and flight
testing. "The Skyhawk is already the best-selling, most-flown
airplane ever with more than 43,000 delivered and this option
further
expands the market due to the worldwide availability of Jet A
fuel,"
said John Doman, Cessna vice president of propeller aircraft sales.
Cessna will install the engines at its Independence, Kan., factory
under the supplementary type certificate already held by Thielert.
Am I missing something? Where in that story does Cessna anticipate
the
demise of AvGas?


They'd have to be pretty stupid not to anticipate it.
There were, after all, only a certain number of dinosaurs.

I've never seen the exact count of Avgas dinosaurs vs. Jet A
dinosaurs.
Can you tell us how many there were of each specie?


at least five. I think you'll find that's accurate
