The folks from GAMI have been hard at work bringing their G100UL Unleaded Avgas to market, making good on years of development. Jim Campbell, ANN Editor-in-Chief, stopped by the GAMI booth to get an update on their first steps into the market from Head of Engineering George Braly.
It's quite clear by now that the reliance on leaded fuel is an achilles heel for those airports occupying valuable real estate around the country - fixing it could help disarm opponents of General Aviation of one of their most effective lobbying tools.
Tim Roehl, GAMI President, said they've got plenty of gas on hand to get things started, with more than 1.2 million gallons on hand. Ever the engineer, Brady even let us in on just how easy it would be to start getting G100UL delivered to your local airfield, describing their ability to cost-effectively ship a tanker of it to your neck of the woods. The GAMI folks are good sports, offering a darn affordable STC to start using their gas, which shows just how committed to the cause they are.
