Diesel fuel?

Diesel fuel?

Could be true. For example, the Cessna Caravan is a popular jump plane.

Boy, you are one tough sumbitch if you get struck by a Caravan and only complain of "pain in the middle part of the body". Come to think of it, if you get struck by any airplane and can still complain, you're doing pretty darn good!

Diesel fuel?

Jet A is a higher grade of kerosene than deisels burn. To the un educated, it smells like deisel, so it must be deisel.
