This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Piston driven planes still do use leaded gasoline. There is a very recent push to certify lead free avgas and progress is being made but they're being a bit opaque and seemingly rushing it which is making a lot of people weary of it.
