Here's the background as I know it and have come to learn the history of over the past couple months.

- In ~2011, CEH (Center for Environmental Health) sued several distributors of fuel (flight schools, FBO's,etc) regarding California's Prop 65 (we all know as the 'everything may cause cancer, harm, etc' labeling). 
- In 2014, a settlement (consent agreement) was made by the parties to carry unleaded when it came available

fast forward....

CEH sued in Dec 2024 to enforce settlement agreement... and make them carry the 'commercially available' G100UL.
See Avweb for summary of the court documents

Not only that, they added a request to modify the agreement and prematurely ban 100LL in California before the FAA 2031 deadline.

Given some recent filings requested use of my photos and referenced my work, I purchased a few documents. They are public record and free to share once purchased, so I am offering them here. If you want the rest, the docket location was posted earlier in this thread.

A set of filings the past week describe several G100UL user's experiences (not all of them that exist). Grab your favorite drink and have a read... I've tried to put them in general chronological order.

What the heck is this Aircraft Pilots of the Bay Area (APBA), and who is their president, Paul Millner???  Reading his last 'Declaration' makes my blood boil.  The dude went out to the airport looked at planes leaking and basically supports Braly and enforcing the consent decree!

Good grief!  Pilots out actively trying to ban 100LL??
