Default 1800 Gallons of De-icing fluid...


Good idea.


I almost gotta ask, if it is such a good idea, why is it not being used?
There must be something wrong with the idea of a fundamental, or practical
level.

I wonder if the exhaust residue is the problem, being corrosive, or
something. I know the oil burned on older carriers was a problem for
aircraft corrosion, but they were in that stuff all of the time.

Didn't the Air Force used to use jet engines alongside runways to clear
fog, back in the '60s?


I think with limited success.
