RVs Make October 2007 "Farm Journal"
The small item is printed over a photo of three RV-3s in formation with smoke on. The caption is "The Vanguard Squadron is the world's only 100% ethanol-powered aerobatic air fleet."
The text is "If you think fueling your car with ethanol is progress, keep your eye on the sky to see the tricks from the pilots with the Vanguard Squadron.
"Vanguard is the world's only 100% ethanol-powered aerobatic air fleet. With four experimental Van RV-3A airplanes flown on ethanol since 1993, the squadron performs daring stunts and tricks for audiences like the one at the Military Appreciation Day Air Show in Mexico, MO., in August.
"Ethanol makes great aviation fuel because it is low in vapor-pressure and high in octane. Vanguard is sponsored by Poet Biorefining."
