Oh Boy!  Jets that smell like french fries! 🍟

It will be harder to become a pilot!

For the patent, there will also be a test of ... cooking!😁

There goes the cost of cooking oil!

I vaguely remember reading certain cooking oils, perhaps sunflower already being sold out, but for other reasons. I only use olive oil and luckily still have a few litres stocked in my kitchen for now. An A380  filled with livestock and methane fuel, maybe another alternative?

Contrails made of cowfarts??  EW! Gross!

Just add a little salt and some pepper - yum. 

Seriously, how will this effect the fuel pumps in the long term, and the need for their frequent inspection? 

BTW, are A380's still in production?

This is one of the many articles published on the termination of the Airbus A380.
