Our 100LL fuel truck recently got a new wrap to encourage and remind pilots to depart on Runway 02, our preferred "quiet departure" calm wind runway. Rwy 02 overflies open space so it provides the easiest way for a pilot to help maintain a noise sensitive departure.. Also, did you know that TRK sells full service 100LL for the same price as self-serve? This results in fewer aircraft engine starts, less time taxiing and significantly lower emissions. Click post heading for more info.
