A question for you Jabawocky, keeping in mind i'm still a junior and not savvy with these sorts of things, so excuse me if this seems like a silly question. If George is having such problems with the FAA waylaying him, why not try with another group? like JAA or EASA or someone like that...? Would it be possible to bring it to ICAO if the FAA are found to be unduly dragging out the process due to other interested parties (Read BP and Shell) using their influence to sustain their profits at the expense of all Avgas users??
