When San Diego rolled out an unleaded aviation fuel at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in 2024, it was billed as a step toward cleaner skies. Since then, pilots have bought two dozen gallons of it, while more than 1 million gallons of leaded fuel have gone through the same pumps. The city-owned airfield in Kearny Mesa, known to the Federal Aviation Agency as MYF, is the highest lead-polluting general aviation airport in the country, based on federal data obtained by inewsource through a records request.
