-Sorry - safety manuals list it as explosive - whether or not it combusts is irrelevant and not understand the definition of what a fuel is.
-Sorry but you forget to mention Ozone at higher levels in the air and the presence of water can be as much as 3%
-I gave links to sources that show how Ozone can support weight when levitated between magnetic sources and showed a photo that shows a magnetic field is created in Airplanes, try to keep up.
-Jumbo jets using 30 tanker trucks full of liquid fuel is highly improbable - it exceeds optimal weight to power ratios. Something else is going on.
-The Spruce Goose operational ceiling was never determined because it was too heavy because it exceeded an optimal power to weight ratio and was not fully understood, this was the dawn of powered flight, not with the help of the technological knowledge we employ today.
An MSDS lists a danger of explosion, due to oxygen being necessary for combustion. Oxygen in and of itself is not explosive in the slightest. Combustibility is of the utmost relevance. We glean mechanical work from the reaction of fuel and oxidizer, the reaction is called combustion.

adjective: explosive
1.
able or likely to shatter violently or burst apart, as when a bomb explodes.
"an explosive device"
synonyms: volatile, inflammable, flammable, combustible, incendiary, eruptive, unstable
"the danger of explosive gases"
Oxygen is not able or likely to shatter violently or burst apart. Note the synonym "combustible."
Holy shit! What the fuck do you think ozone is made of? THREE molecules of... get this... OXYGEN. Like literally. O³ is the chemical notation for ozone. O = oxygen. O³ = three of them. What a fucking gold mine of humor today!
You're going to have to quote the post number on that one, because my bullshit detector probably told me to summarily dismiss it the first go around, and it's bleeping again now.
Your definition of improbable means very little to me. Jumbo jets are known to carry hundreds of thousands of pounds in fuel. Surfpunk even used to have a job at the local international airport fueling them.
1947 was 44 years after the dawn of powered flight. They understood power to weight ratios just fine by then. I'll take Howard Hughes genius over your incredulity any day. It was not "too heavy" to fly. That's a popular myth.

no - jsp trolls like yourself are saying its not a fuel source - im saying that technically it is a fuel source
not to mention that Technology can make any particle, a potential fuel source.
Maybe you would understand it more if i just used the word "magic" and "a wizard did it" - just like the magic force that holds you to the ground
"Airplane Pilots" [i mean wizards]
are using magic fairy dust, prove me wrong!
In the most technical of terms possible, no it is not. It is REQUIRED for the fuel TO COMBUST, but is not itself combustible in the slightest, jsp troll.
