Smoking Plane Story
Tincanfireman has an interesting story over at his blog about a smoking airplane. Here is an excerpt:
Looking out the window during a commercial, at first I wasn't even sure I had seen "something"; just a brief, light puff of smoke from the engine cowling of a Regional Jet (or RJ) that recently arrived. Amother commercial, so I keep looking out the window (since I don't need what Enzyte Bob is selling). About thirty seconds later, dang, another puff. The news is back on, but now I could care less about the NBA playoffs; this is Important Stuff happening right before my eyes. Still another wisp escapes from the cowling and now I'm at the station window, having a good look at the jet. I call towards the dayroom "Lou, (Lieutenant) have a look at this, wouldja?"
