Back on topic ... I don't speak French, but I did a quick search on a French-English translation site, and it appears as though "gas passer" would translate as "Essence en Passant" ... how 'bout that?
Yes...but you'd have to make it the "StratoEssence en Passant" to appease the salty old SAC has-beens...
p.s. I think that Jeff guy is a bitter IFF or RTU washout who ended up joining a guard unit as a shoe clerk. Now he's just parroting some invective he overheard from the real pilots.
