Cramped 2 seater... Burns JetA or Avgas from the one that landed here
last year during one of the hurricane evacs. Mileage is better on JetA
though, according to the pilot...

Unless something has changed, jets cant burn avgas-too hot,will burn up
turbine wheels etc.Pilot was probably bs-ing you

Cessna Citation II POH states that xxxx gallons of 100LL can be burned.
I cannot remember the the stated value, it was over 20 years ago when I
read it.

B-36 and C-123 did it all the time.

You certainly CAN burn AvGas in place of JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, Jet-A, Kerosene,
etc.

Likely the pilot knew more than you.

B36's at least had a lot of lead buildup on the tailpipes.

Concur.

In early days in P-80 when every base didn't have JP-1 it was
authorized to fill up with av gas to get home. Did on numerous
occasions and no damage to J-33.

Do you recall the fuel burn with Avgas? Was it similar - 100 gph vs 100 gph,
or whatever a P-80 burned? Performance differences? Curious.

Thanks.

I'll bet his tailpipe looked like the exhaust stacks on the jet truck at
Oshkosh. VAROOOOOMMMM!!!!
