Ahhhh.... the good ol smell of JP-5.... On the deck of the USS Carl VINSON (CVN-70) in the middle of the Pacific before first launch in the morning.... Brings me back to my youth...

Now that's what I call Nap of the Earth. Used to love watching the static on the rotors of the Chinook during night operations. I sure miss it sometimes...

 It smells exactly like money to me.  I love it and the Jet Fuel loves (and must have) my chemicals added to it...otherwise, it don't fly.

Yes, I know that. So does gasoline. But I was commenting on the remark made about smell. Diesel smells nothing like JP-5 (kerosene) nor do either of them smell like gasoline.

When burned, they very much do to me too. Not exactly,but so close.
To the OP, cool thread on those craft. Just amazing technology.

The sweet aromatics of leaded racing fuel exhaust is wonderfully intoxicating.
