Normal or Not?

I was seated in the exit row on a Delta MD-88 today and the guy next to me asked what I thought this was. The streaming could be seen the entire time we were at cruise and was coming from 2 spots when I first looked. It got worse in a turn and stopped completely once we started our descent. I have my ideas, but what say the more knowledgeable forum members? What would you say this is?

It's definitely blinker fluid.

Looks like a fuel leak. Nothing to see here, move along.

Wait..... isn't that the chemtrail tank?

We have a winner!

Definitely the Chemtrail tank.

Was the plane de-iced that morning?

Objection, the question calls for speculation.

No deice. No precip. Didn't fly through a cloud all flight.

Well, 'normal' and the Mad Dog don't really coincide so there is that.

I vote for Type 1 or 4. Even if the plane was deiced several days ago the low pressure on top of the wing still could be pulling it out of the nooks and crannies.

Fluid quantity indicator. Dipstick eliminated. That reservoir isn't empty yet.

No wonder we got that fuel imbalance. It's a Maddog. Nuff said.

Stuff leaks. If it doesn't, you start worrying that the stuff is all gone.

NWA used to have the oldest fleet age average. Does Delta hold that torch now? Even after getting rid of the NWA DC-9s? And their 757-200s and 767-200/non-ER 300s to my home airport? Or does AA hold the title?

How do you know there's no more oil in the engines of a Maddog? It quits dripping oil on the ramp.

I believe AA has the youngest fleet of the legacies now. Tons of new 737s, 319/21s, 787s and 777s in the last few years.

That's what $22 bil in debt can get you.

No.

Stuff seeps. It drips. It dribbles. It emanates. It drains.

It does not leak.




Until you get to base on your last leg.
