Smoking plane

For once it's not the passengers but the plane that does smoke!!!

Take a look at this VASP 737-200.
I think that the meals int the oven will be slightly overcooked

Perhaps it's just Indians all smoking the indian-pipe at once? :dammit:

Does anyone have a clue on what could cause such an apparently inoffensive smoke? Too much oil, some technical check due?

ciao,

Well, it's just the APU which doesn't work correctly I think.

Anyway it seems that the brzilian companies have very old and special airplanes and crews.. remember the B727 dumping fuel while taxiing

They probably installed a Diesel to get cheaper fuel

Or they just installed an APU working with alcohol like some of their cars
