I guess I really fouled up on this one. It fooled me as it probably was intended to do. What a cruel trick! I am reasonably sure that the 82UL has been approved as it was in a previous Avflash and I have spoken to two different FBOs to ascertain when and if we can expect the fuel locally.
Apparently this was a dirty trick by someone and I fell for it. Please forgive me and I promise never to send anything to coupers digest again, I'll just follow along and listen to you folks.
