Somehow, putting veggie oil into an airplane does not seem as good an idea as putting it into you MB diesel car. It doesn't seem like it would be very economical to do that, as much fuel as jets burn.

I suppose one advantage would be of there not being as toxic of an oil slick in the happenstance of a crash into the ocean.

I doubt that would much of a comfort to the victims.

p.s., I believe I should get a prize for the most convoluted opening sentence in a post.

Imagine the smell of french fries at 30,000 feet. That'll drive the duck nuts.
