This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

But, do that people have light aircrafts or motherfucking Boeings 787?

Planes still require leaded gasoline and they are the largest contributor or airborne lead pollution in the US, probably the world.

No, they don't. It's like saying all cars require leaded gasoline. They can work on it, but it's banned in all countries.

Planes that would land here typically use 100LL which contains lead. (LL stands for Low Lead). It's not banned for aviation use.

There has been a push recently to use alternatives which don't contain lead but most places still have 100LL as it's a very long process to get things certified for aviation use.
