[The Dark]

I thought of another place to raid for equipment - Fantasy of Flight in Polk City has a huge number of airworthy classical planes, ranging in size from a Fiesler Storch to a Short Sunderland flying boat. There are also tons of spare parts, including a warehouse full of engines (which I've been lucky enough to get to tour). None of it's stuff that would have been useful during the Twilight War, but in the aftermath, they would be useful, particularly since most of them should be able to fly (at least at moderate altitudes) on 87 octane MOGAS (high altitudes might risk vapor lock). Unfortunately, the only synfuel facility I know of in Florida is an experimental facility in Okeechobee that opened in 2012, far too late for the canon timelines, and Florida has no oil refineries. Personally, I wouldn't want to try running aircraft on alcohol, even with appropriate plumbing changes, since the reduction in power and endurance would add risk.
