Well at least now they can do it in the comfort of an 'Office' and in-between coffee breaks!!

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

I can just imagine you having to open the DV (or have the flteng do it) to grab the line with a petrol-pump style tap on the end then lift the filler cap and tank up

How about a price sign incorporated into the tailfin? Just loiter outside the tanking zone for whoever, and charge a cent or two less :flying:

I can quite believe that... perhaps they think you fly something like Thunderbird 2 and anyone refuelling lands inside and has a coffee at the same time!!!
Wouldn't surprise me to hear they'd been asking why one aircraft used 3lbs of fuel more than the next one... :roll:
