Jet-A not required, the fuel controllers are altered to run on diesel.
Av-gas? That's 100 octane low-lead gasoline.....

Thank you for the info on the turbines. Nice to hear from someone who works on them.

That high-octane and Av-gas should be right up your alley with your line of work?
Although I work on turbines, it's strictly been in the high-dollar corp-jet environment. I certainly would love to have a turbine-powered boat some day, but unfortunately it is out of the reach of my salary. I certainly do love spending time with Steve David at the Detroit Gold Cup each year though. Special application I know, but you haven't seen how a turbine performs in a boat until you see the Unlimiteds!
BTW, Tulsa, OK training for all my ratings, including all the flight ratings. Spent many a time looking down at Grand Lake through a little Cessna's window building time. Hope we can meet in Miami- would love to see all those Cigs at Monty's.
