I think this might be it. I looked up at 5:30 CST and saw AOPA's Boyer
telling 'em GA is no threat.

Some old guy responded that a Cessna with 200 pounds of fertilizer was
dangerous enough to recreate the Oklahoma City bombing. I sighed.

It would need 200 pounds of fuel like diesel also. In any event if
memory serves the Ryder had something like 4 tons of explosive.

I read 1200 lbs, but doubt that figure as you fit a bomb that size in
the trunk of a large car, no need to rent a truck.

Before I said that I went to a non conspiracy site, they actually exist,
where they show McVeigh buy 2 kilopounds on 2 different occassions
making a total of 4 kilopounds add that to the 4 kilopounds of diesel
you get 8 kilopounds which comes out to 4 tons.

Who can name a GA plane that can carry 4 thousand lbs? That would be in
the area of a 20 passenger plane. So what, DC-3 or bigger? Isn't a
DC-3 technically an airliner?
