“The best thing in life is to lay a stinky fart and get away with it.”
Once upon a time, we called such emissions Recon farts; “Swift, Silent and Deadly”.
Going waay back, had a science teacher that flew with the 8th Air Force. Related to a day’s lesson, he very clinically explained how altitude made gas expand.
Using a mission he flew on as an example, he explained that a crew members less than digested supper of hot dogs, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes expanded on the way to target. Crewman suffered such intense abdominal pain that the pilot was forced to abort the mission and return to England. Dumped their bomb load in the Channel.
Who knows, maybe it was a Sea Story of sorts but it was an entertaining lesson of how gas expaands.
Haha. Great story! :)
