Refueling issue
Can somebody please explain to me how a podunk little bayou airport, which gets excited over the emergency landing of a Cessna, would be able to find jet fuel, and enough of it to fill an airliner, within 5 minutes?
shareMost airports, even small ones, will have jet A and AVGAS. Small turboprops and quite a few helicopters will use Jet A fuel so it's not unreasonable to have Jet A on hand, even at a small airfield.
Though I highly doubt that the airfield in the movie would have enough Jet A to completely fill a L-1011 (although who says that the plane was completely full)
Are you gonna bark all day little doggy? or are you gonna bite??share
