Jet A fuel = 6.7 lbs per gallon. That would be 1,700,000 lbs of fuel. I'm not sure if anything could lift that much into the air.
That would be the capacity of 8½ railroad tank cars. A jet can lift that much off the ground?
No. In jet aviation fuel is measured in pounds. Somebody in the media, shockingly enough, heard a number about fuel and, being ignorant, posted a story with a yuuuge number of gallons which should have been pounds. Divide by Ron's figure for Jet A.
