    When I pumped AVGAS as a kid we had a small jet trainer fill up on gas and one quart of oil. At first I refused to pump the gas until he showed me the POH that stated it was acceptable. We were having problems with line guys filling "Turbo" Cessnas with JetA when they were really just turbocharged gas engines....

    Jet engines can run on almost any type of fuel and Pratt & Whitney PT6 engines are approved to run on avgas.

    That's nice Lowell👍
    Right now at my house( no runway) I have a plane in the down stairs shop now, and room for 2 Kitfox ( or 8 if you fold the wings . In the upstairs shop ) if this all pans out , the idea of putting a flying community together.. I plan on a bunker style hangar with the house on top, 40'x60' hangar with 12' ceiling , it will depend on the lay of the land of course.. So the main floor of the house is ground level on the front, hangar out the back
