I just filled up a gas can for my lawn mower at a local airport. I use avgas so I don't have to worry about end of season tasks I would otherwise have to do with the lawn mower if I used regular gas, otherwise would probably need a carburetor rebuild at the beginning on the season. Anyhoo, the lady there mentioned military planes regularly land there. I asked what for seeing there are a ton of military bases around. She said that the military bases don't have the type of fuel needed. Sounds pretty odd to me that the military would have to fly their planes to a local airport a couple miles away just to gas up.

I wouldn't put it beyond the military to use civilian fueling stations if it saves money.
