- sounds like the usual 'let's offload our rubbish for the Canadian Winter contract'.

http://aerotoxic.org/fume-events/ In case all you 'passengers' are not aware of the campaign against fumes on aircraft, this list of recent 'fumes' events should focus your minds.

Of significant concern is the sequence of 'fumes' on a particular Lufthansa airframe over no less than 3 flights. http://www.aviazionecivile.org/vb/showthread.php/137423-Lufthansa-A346-D-AIHH-fumo-a-bordo-su-3-voli-consecutivi (there is a bit in English!)

I cannot see how the APU could have been implicated unless it was running for the approach into HK - not being AB qualified, I do not know. Anyone?

Re the APU fume event found this below.

Useful, stuart, thanks, and as in that report I understand that the Airbus series is a bit short of power cf a Boeing (had to get that bit in ) and I believe the 320 series all use the APU for cabin conditioning on take-off too, but this incident occurred 'en route and on approach' when I would have expected the APU to be off, to be started on the ground (but this is an info gap for me).

Drug running Islander strafed.

http://www.jacdec.de/2016/01/20/2016-01 ... -colombia/

OOH - if only - a boy's dream! I got involved once tracking down a drug-running boat off Belize many years back, but was unfortunately unarmed...............

I would have enjoyed putting a few 30mms into it.

The video of the strafe on the RHS of the page is good.

Yes - you can almost smell the cordite

I wonder what they were tracking it with.

Minor incident vastly over-hyped by journos: BA 380 'bumps' (sorry 'SMASHES') into a jet bridge at Miami. Minimal damage I suspect but if not, sorting a 380 load would be a challenge for BA.

Don't know. The first part looks like it was from the ground.
Second part, whatever the Colombians use to track so obviously something with FLIR and a 20 or 30mm.
Unless that was a "cut" from a piece of video, if that was a first strafe run that is pretty good shooting.
