you must have left nam later than I did. We used zippos-))
"Since the introduction of Bic lighters in the early 70s people have forgotten how to use matches" (from the website).
Anyway, I have used Bics since they came out. No stink and no fuel leak at altitude. A fully fueled Zippo,stored in my shirt pocket, taken from camp holloway to above 5000 feet AGL on a test flight caused the fluid to come out due to pressure drop. And it caused a fuel burn. My left tit looked like a peeled, browned, sunburn from the fuel leaking from the zippo. OUCH!
