I have frequently used a SVEA 123 stove for aircraft camping, because I purchased the stove back in the sixties for backpacking and, well, I still have it. BTW, If you are familiar with that stove, you are OLD...
It loves Coleman fuel, and it runs on 100LL. However just like the plugs in a plane, you have to clean the the orfice (nozzle) after every use, because when it cools down at the end of a cooking session, the lead completely plugs the hole. Every time.
As long as you don't lose the tool to clean the orfice, not a big deal. And using fuel out of the wing makes for one less thing to pack.

Leaded fuel suposedly clogs the jet, although I have used it in a pinch.
