: Forgive my lack of knowledge, but what is JP$?

I know you've noticed, MaryBeth, that sometimes you need to be a mindreader to understand some of this stuff. This one is really quite simple, once explained.

JP-4 = Huey helicopter fuel = kerosene = Huey crew fuel = Curran fuel = Bushmills Irish Whiskey (or, even better, when we can get it) = (the smoothest and best of the best Irish Whiskey) Black Bush.

Failing that, Jameson's will do nicely.

When there's no Jameson's... kerosene. JP-4.
