I get $6.44 with AEG Fuels. I have found that outside CJP and CAA, AEG has the best rates.

Agree - with the current oil prices, anything north of 4 starts to get crazy. 7 is obscene.

The only thing striking about this video is how it could be a simulator once we lift off. Darker than dark. The skew-T's predicted tops at 12k. We popped out at 11,950. How for they do that?

Weather balloons.

1600 of them are released every day (800 worldwide sites, launches twice a day) and the data they collect is a prime source for weather modeling and forecasts.

Here is where you can get the raw data:

So what's the deal with these fuel cards? I'm a little familiar with CJP as I am a member, but what others are good to have and where do you get them?

Messing with the FMS yesterday and came across this screen. Hmmmm. Anybody know the difference between mass sterilization and population control? We couldn't find anything in the manual.
