Dear Billy
If the FAA stood up and told my state, and all states, that an approved fuel is on the books and will be making its way to all states as soon as possible, I believe that would go a long way toward calming the anti-lead crowd and encouraging those in the business of making and delivering fuel.
Unleaded avgas on track to be at California airports by summer 2023
Reid-Hillview Airport of Santa Clara County (KRHV), Watsonville Municipal Airport (KWVI), and Meadows Field Airport (KBFL) in Bakersfield will be the first airports in the country to offer GAMI’s lead-free 100 octane FAA-approved avgas known as G100UL.
