This is a gas station in the airport. Different from normal ones, it has no fuel stand and it is surround by concrete blocks so that any cars and airplanes cannot approach. How can it be used? It's easy - just call the fuel station by the radio on the airplane, and an oil tanker delivers you the fuel. As airplanes are not good at moving on lands like birds (they cannot even move backward), and they use a lot of fuel for taxing, this is the most reasonable and safest way to get fuel for airplanes. In most cases, the gas station staff is one of the student of our flight school. They can drive the huge tanker without any special license because it is not a public space within the airport. The gas station staff is a popular job for us student pilots.
Dan:I liked the run away alarm linked from your link. Although I heard a bit on the radio alwihe ago about someone who was making an alarm clock that would jump off the table and do a random walk around the floor when you hit the snooze button.Just what I need, 4 cats and a dog chasing the alarm clock around my bedroom first thing in the morning.John
