I guess you've never seen an SR-71 Blackbird takeoff.
Leaks like a sieve. They place pans underneath while
they refuel. Once it gets to supersonic cruise speeds,
the whole aircraft heats up, expands, and then seals off
the leaks.

I took a plane to Toronto last November and we were delayed on the runway
because of a fuel leak that a baggage handler noticed. A mechanic was
rushed out to the runway and he said: "No problem. Take off , the leak is
within specifications." Not a nice feeling. I thought that specs on a leak
would be zero for an aircraft and for a TIGER. What do you think Steve?
