Generally, fuel dumped from aircraft evaporates before reaching the surface.
Or was that your point? Butch "Brian" wrote in message ... "theMooseisLoose" wrote in message news:TL6Mf.862$FE2.109@trnddc01... "Brian" wrote in message ... "theMooseisLoose" wrote in message news:4o5Mf.1064$3W5.23@trnddc02... Where do you think all the fuel goes when military and civilian aircraft are required to "dump fuel" in preparation for landing with weight limits??? I'm not the same Brian as "Brian D". But just because aircraft are allowed to dump tons of fuel does not allow us to dump ounces of fuel into the North Sea. Agreed. I pointed that out because of the paradox and I thought that concern was a little 'misplaced'. You could see a Sea King doing it on TV last week as they wanted to reduce weight to carry out a rescue on the beach -- Brian Ancient Order of Sewer Ants |

I'm certain you're correct. You seem extremely well informed.
