“A few seconds later, there was a bit of smoke and the stench of burning bird that seemed to confirm my guess.”
Is there any technical explanation for how a pilot/passenger in first class, well forward of the motors, could under any circumstances recognize the smell of burning birds in a jet with forward momentum ?
I’m a bit skeptical of that one.
Yes, the starboard engine produces the air that flows through the cabin. The little spicket that blows air in you face comes from the engine.
