Default RE: Fire Extinguisher?

way too much bantering....ouch.

Either will work. its a cost and availability thing. a turbine fire usually takes one quick blast and its done. Both work on a crash very well..

My cost to refill a 10lb bottle is over 150 bucks, and CO2 is about 10Bucks. that made it simple.

I testted a CO2 bottle on a kerosine fire and a wood fire at the manufacturer. it works fine.

Halon has been used in the aerospace industry for years because it is so effective. its just expensive.

so choose and use...both work.
