LNG aviation does not make any more sense than H2 aviation. Even LPG does not make any sense since you neither can haul 16 bar fuel tanks, nor can you realistically maintain temperature for 1-2atm pressure. And any leak is not 'oh. look, a kerosene stain on tarmac', it's ready-made fuel-air explosion.
On the plus side we would be able to retire airport fire engines because they would never be able to get to a crash before it completely burns out.
You can't get much better than ready-made, for rocketry.
As if LNG is effectively more dense in flight than ordinary LPG, which doesn't need to be cryogenic to handle.
Armchair fuel experts do still provide food for thought though ;)
