Well spring is nearly upon us, and the oft-forgotten task of removing
the winter air from your airplane tires needs to be completed before the
temps hit 60.

can I offer you a bottle of australian air? we have next to nothing in
the way of air pollution which means that the stuff isnt perpetually
corroding out the inner tubes. we typically use the air for the life
of the aircraft.
btw an added bonus of australian air is that the eucalyptus aroma
(which is really quite pleasant) is instantly detected warning you of
a tyre leak.

If you buy the Australian air, be sure to switch your left tire for your
right, and vice versa, since the residual Coriolis force will tend to make
them rotate the wrong way.

You also have to use metric tires with Australian air.

And read your tire gauge upside down and backwards.

What is this crazyness? What homebuilder inside joke am I missing out on.

Well spring is nearly upon us, and the oft-forgotten task of
removing
the winter air from your airplane tires needs to be completed before the
temps hit 60. Last year I made the ghastly mistake of allowing my mechanic
to change my air, and darnit if he didn't put RV air in my beloved
Emeraude.
The poor green baby shook and sputtered terribly, and had flat tires
within
an hour. Luckily my rims were not ruined.
Remember to use caution when jacking up your planes, and do not be
fooled by cheap imitation spring air offers on ebay - you need genuine,
temperature and pollen tested spring air for successful homebuilt aircraft
use.

Happy Spring!

Please make sure you get Av grade air. The automotive air will force
you to fly from the right seat.

Not really, you will find similar humour in automotive (muffler bearings)
electronics (when in doubt tune for maximum flame and minimum smoke) etc.
