Maggie,

Mixing A.O. with jet fuel? I?ve honestly never heard of that. It was mixed with diesel fuel or kerosene as far as I know. Jet fuel would have made it very dangerous for the crews who were doing the spraying. Just imagine one tracer bullet going into a jet fuel mist! Large boom, one former airplane.

Don't know about your state but don't doubt it. I do know that A.O. has been used in up state Minn. They used it under high tension wires. Was told by the locals it doesn't have the same affect due to the temp or whatever.

Sis, I was having lots of bad luck at the time. That incident took place during Tet. With one year and about one week in the Army I was functioning as the platoon leader and guys were getting killed and badly hurt all around me. Those little flying bugs were the last straw. It's really weird but I remember Jerry Lee Lewis was singing about drinking wine on the radio while that happened. Strange the little things we recall.

Stay healthy,
Andy
