In the area of alternative fuels, the Air Force has worked for six years to certify aircraft on a range of alternative fuels including Fischer Tropsch, Hydroprocessed Renewable Jet and Alcohol to Jet fuel types. Along the way the Air Force accomplished a number of "firsts" including the first aerial refueling, first supersonic flight, and first flight by an aerial demonstration team (the Thunderbirds)
