Episode Summary:

In this episode of the Flying Midwest Podcast, we continue our AirVenture series with a deep dive into one of the most important topics in aviation today: fuel. We're joined by Chris D’Acosta from Swift Fuels to discuss the future of unleaded aviation fuel and the steps being taken to remove lead from our skies.

Chris covers who Swift Fuels is, the work they’ve done to develop unleaded fuel alternatives, and the STCs available for pilots and aircraft owners. He also gives us a look at where the industry is heading and what it means for pilots moving forward.

Plus, we celebrate a major milestone for our former host Trevor, welcome a new Patreon member, and share exciting updates about our return to the regular podcast format in just a couple of weeks!
