Default Airman spots aircraft fuel leak at 35,000 feet

A fuel leak on a civilian aircraft caught the attention of Staff Sgt. Bartek Bachleda, 909th Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, during a flight from Chicago to Narita airport, Japan. After alerting the pilots and aircrew, the ranking pilot made the decision to divert the flight to San Francisco.

"I noticed the leak on the left side of the aircraft right behind the wing earlier during take-off," said Sergeant Bachleda.

Jeg har også sagt fra om fuel-lekkasje på et KLM-fly. Fikk jeg upgrade?

Merkelig sak det der! Nå hadde vel ikke flyet fortsatt ut over Stillehavet med en så stor reduksjon i fuel som pilotene allerede hadde oppdaget, men hva kan årsaket til denne fuel lekkasjen ha vært ?
Fuel jettison ventil som hadde åpnet seg ?

Neppe fullt åpen i så fall, da hadde det nok forsvunnet mer, men kanskje ikke stengt seg sikkelig. Men dette er kun spekulasjon...

Tror mer på slurv fra fuelingmannskapets side. Har neppe fått lukket lukene skikkelig. Fuel leak via jettisonsystemet ville nok blitt annonsert med gule eller røde bokstaver på Annunciator Panel.
