Not to be that person, but I heard that all planes/jets dump their remaining fuel before landing as a matter of course to reduce explosion risk. Don't they store that in the wings?
not fuel. fuel is not a dense, lingering white cloud
this was directly over a populated area and the Indian River, as well
Planes only dump fuel on emergency landings
thanks for playing
What are you talking about? Yes, when dumped, it is. JP2 has a specific gravity of .8. What do you think clouds are? RAIN is a liquid.
what are you talking about? This was directly over a residential area and a protected intercoastal river, on approach. IT. WAS. NOT. FUEL.
( btw, how are things ? )
It was. Wing tanks. Do you know how fuel is stored? And used? It's different for each phase of flight. These jets have wing tanks, often four or even five different ones, all connected by piping and pumps. They use strange pumps, too, some of them are venturi-style to reduce moving parts and possibilities for catastrophic failures. Since they're one-way they also have pressure valves at the tips to reduce 'hammering' inside the tanks. That means venting. I've done training on this (as in, created the curriculum). In these jets (especially military) there are vents at wing tips specifically designed to allow fuel to slosh out, as would happen in exactly this maneuver.
Things are good and bad. Been good with travel, some bad with family, tons of bullshit, and the constant WAITING for shit to go down is driving me to drink. Went sober for 50 days, then drank some. Ugh. Sucks.
Appreciate the work you do, man.
