wow your dad is a truly amazing pilot if he can use diesel...most jet's and planes use kerosine as a fuel, at least im sure it's kerosine :)
Jet fuel, literally <><><> Depends on the plane. Jet aircraft DO use jet fuel, which is mainly very pure kerosene. Piston engined aircraft use AVGAS- or Aviation gasoline- a high octane form of gasoline.
Avgas, or if it has a jet engine, it would use either Jet-A1 or Jet-B fuel.

The Concorde plane used a type of fuel called aviation kerosene, which is also known as Jet-A fuel. This fuel is a type of refined petroleum that is designed for use in jet turbine engines, like the ones that powered the Concorde.
Depending on what kind of plane it is, AV Gas or Jet Fuel
When a jet plane rapidly accelerates on the runway, the energy transformation is primarily from chemical energy in the jet fuel to kinetic energy of the moving plane. The engines of the jet plane convert the chemical energy in the fuel into mechanical energy to propel the plane forward.
Jet fuel is injected into high pressure air in jet engines.
The primary types of jet fuel is Jet Fuel A, and Jet fuel A-1, the difference between the two is their freezing point (−40 °C vs −47 °C for Jet A-1). In almost all other regards (such as autoignition temperature, density, and open air buring temperatures) the two fuels are nearly identical.
The Jet-stream certainly does. Planes can use the jet-stream to reduce the amount of fuel it takes to travel from one side of the planet to the other. This is because - so long as the jet-stream is flowing in the same direction the plane wants to travel - it can 'push' the plane forward, which uses less fuel.
Plane fuel is commonly referred to as aviation fuel. The two main types are Avgas, used primarily in piston-engine aircraft, and Jet A or Jet A-1, which are used in jet engines. These fuels are specially formulated to meet the performance and safety requirements of aviation.
Turbine engines are most commonly found in airplanes. They use gas for fuel. They are also known as "jet" engines, hence the term for the plane.
Most people use nitrogen to inflate jet plane tires.
