Thanks, Chris.  I've never tried the torch approach to weeding, so can't comment from personal experience.

The Falcon looked great, Jim.

I have one if those weed torches, but my wife is not impressed with its/my 
performance. Perhaps heating the tar helps to propagate the heat and make it 
more effective.

When I stopped by the airport this morning, dark clouds were moving in from the 
northwest.  A Falcon jet based locally contrasts with the clouds.

I noticed the Airport Manager busy on the ramp, but couldn't figure out what he was 
up to, so I walked out to ask.  After trying weed eaters for grass & weed 
control in cracks, he has found that a gas torch works better and is easier on the 
back. Here are two shots of his approach to weed control.

Apparently the fire gets the roots, for a longer lasting result. The tar cools 
back to its normal consistency.
