Lines: 10 Well, I still don't think that the extra 2000 pounds can be attributed to smoke. Aviation fuel leaves a residue on the insides of parts, hydralic liquids leave residues, dirt is ground into everything inside the plane, and accumulations of grease build up everywhere. I could perhaps grant you 500 pounds, but not 2000. BTW, I don't smoke around non-smokers. It ain't nice. Come March, when the new gum is available, I hope to become a non-smoker. Please, no flames, I'm weak on smoking and don't take suggestions on how to stop easily. T. C. Wheeler
