No, Mr Tarver, Dan is correct. You posted that an entire squadron on
jets were lost when they encountered fog and were not equipped with
p1t0 tubes. You stated that p1t0 tubes were introduced only after jets
became the norm.

Right, there is no t0 in a pitot tube for gasoline airplanes.

It is good to see Minyard make a fool of himself too.


Tarver, I have worked on recips as well as jets. I have replaced pito and
pitot-tatic on both types. The only electrical connectors on either type of
tube I have ever seen is for pitot heat. Pitot tubes used for pitot static
systems never has a "T0" on any aircraft.

I have worked several different temperature indication systems from carburetor
intakes on T-29s to EGT on F-4Es to FAT on C-130s. I know what I am talking
about. Do a google search on this newsgroup and you will see that I do.

I assume you are aware of avgas being the common term for the fuel used in
recips.
