I have had hydrazine on me already and it amaounted to nithing more
than having water splashed on you. I hgot dosed with it my a dumb a$$ed fuel troop when he was working on a EPU on an F-16C, and two others also got it all over them..Of course the place went into a panic, they made us strip down on the flight line, butt nekid, the fire department came and hosed us down and sprayed us with chlorox, carried us wrapped up in sheets to the base hospital, where they washed us and washed us some more and took blood tests, and continued to take blood tests for over 6 months just about every week or two.......It did not burn or sting or anything else it was like water.... For hydrazine and also the fuels the Komet used it has to pass over a catylyst bed which caused it to ignite or actually decompose, and in the decomposing process it created heat and flame On Sun, 07 Aug 2005 19:34:57 -0400, Scott Schuckert wrote: ===In article , BeepBeep wrote: === === (a). any tech manual documentation === ===Sure! === === (b). any kind of hazmat permits (presuming it uses some toxic chemicals for fuel). === ===Hydrazine and methanol, according to Wikipedia.
