According to those in the know, gasoline prices are supposed to remain stable for the summer. Which is good. People need cheap gas. Just like they need to be entertained/need the distraction.

Anyway, back to the point, what was it? Oh, yes. Gasoline.

So you’re probably pretty used to the standard gas station setup … on land. You pull up to the pump, you get out of your car (except in New Jersey and Oregon where it’s illegal to fill up your own tank) and you do the little dance of unhinging the nozzle, opening up your cap and a little this and a little of that — boom! Your tank is full and it’s one less thing.

But if you’re thousands of feet in the air, in a million dollar aircraft built for military purposes, the arrangement is slightly bit different than seeing that big glowing neon sign down the street and making a louie into the cement driveway.

It’s hard to explain, so we’re going to just show you, thanks to the following photograph from the USAF:

If only the gas station down the street weighed 240,000 pounds, flew, and went over 600 mph.
