Response to "Feedback from an Expert"
Be careful, Concerned, there is a fine line between an expert knowing and an expert speculating. Be careful.

You say that "To date we have seen zero photographs of any type of spray apparatus on US Air Force tankers or commercial airliners"
You are mistaken, unless you have never seen a picture of the business end of a tanker. A refueling boom from a KC135 or a KC10 is a natural spray tool. For military aircraft not equipped with an in-flight refueling boom a D704 "buddy store" would be perfect. I have worked on aircraft for a great number of years in association with my work. I have worked on commercial and military aircraft: fighters, bombers, big cargo, small and tiny. Point of fact _every_ aircraft has the capability to spray fuel; every tank has a dump valve. The Navy routinely dump fuel for carrier landings. In fact a Navy aircraft loaded with JP4 from an airforce tanker will dump almost everything in preparation for a carrier landing. JP4 is not permitted ship-board; only JP5. When dumped hexane and benzene sized hydrocarbons become atomized after a drop of about 5000 feet. I know: we did the experiments.

If you remember one thing remember this: for an aircraft mechanic it is a simple task to isolate a fuel tank. Dead simple. Any aircraft can spray anything.

As for your comments regarding the anonymous I certainly fall into your category, don't I.
I would not dream of working with any "accredited reporter".
The media is part of the liberal elite wallowing in their welfare state; an accredited reporter is an oxymoron.
btw: who does the accreditation ... think about it, then worry.

My advice, certainly to myself, is to focus on the matter at hand, not politics.

Take the evidence you are presented and make your own educated conclusion, unless you think a reporter is better in the educated conclusion department than you are.

If you want me to research facts then say so.
If you don't: no problem. I will just fade away.
