Well spring is nearly upon us, and the oft-forgotten task of
removing
the winter air from your airplane tires needs to be completed before the
temps hit 60.

can I offer you a bottle of australian air? we have next to nothing in
the way of air pollution which means that the stuff isnt perpetually
corroding out the inner tubes. we typically use the air for the life
of the aircraft.
btw an added bonus of australian air is that the eucalyptus aroma
(which is really quite pleasant) is instantly detected warning you of
a tyre leak.

If you buy the Australian air, be sure to switch your left tire for your
right, and vice versa, since the residual Coriolis force will tend to make
them rotate the wrong way.

You also have to use metric tires with Australian air.

Please make sure you get Av grade air. The automotive air will force
you to fly from the right seat.
