I used to live near there too. I was today years old when I learned those planes still use leaded fuel. Oof. Glad that's getting rectified.... finally.

- cibyr 4y agoThe piston engines still use "low lead" fuel. The turboprops run on jet fuel.
- outworlder 4y agoSome piston engines use jet fuel too (Diamond planes in particular). Some use automotive gas.
