And The Mysterious Orange "Thingie" From Yesterday's Contest Is...
It is the Nitrogen Generating Unit on a Boeing 757.
In the photos above are the main components of a Nitrogen Generating System designed to introduce inert gas into fuel tanks to prevent vapors from igniting.
See, now that wasn't hard, was it? Besides, do you really think I was going to share MISSTWA with anyone? Darry'l.......!!! save your "receipt"........you'll be returning me....for a "Full Refund"

I hope someone chimes in on that orange intestine-looking part.
Anyone?
Hope you are well, Jules.
LOL......GG....!!!!!
Remember last June, when you were here visiting..... we took a tour of the old cemetery...
in New Orleans....The 'HEAT'...was stifling...it was even hard to breath!!
It was no less that 100F...that day!!....SO, it's 104'degree' difference between that day last June and today.....
WOW...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep.....Darryl at
"Totally Jacked up Aircraft pictures".....put the yellow/orange intestine looking guts of a jet engine
(i guess)....on his 'blog'....yesterday....
saying if anyone can guess.....what those pipe thing'ies are.......they win a date with MissTWA.....
Ughhhhhh..!!
hear that..????
.......................
....................../
Yep, the 'Silence' is deafening....;))))))
looks like I'll be 'Winging' it alone....(yes pun)...
besides I can't keep my mouth shut long enough......
Sure is lonely at the bottom.......
Smile........
you take it easy.....luv!!..
Heyaaaa,
Whew, and I thought it was cold here...
Hmmmmmmm it sure does look weird. Maybe it has yet to be unpacked so the color is misleading? lol!
My guess, some heat exchanger machine pipe tube flower. Ever heard of it? Best guess is it has got something to do with the airconditioning/heating. Taking cold air from outside, mixing it with warm air from the engine, feeding it to the PAX.
Right... and it all just turns out to be wiring tube hehe.
Snow white Netherlands, was a wonderful day at Schiphol!
If anyone feels the need to fly MD-11, your last chances are now. Until monday, worlddealweeks @ KLM!
Bas :)
Man, and I thought 0 degree MKE was cold!! Hang in there, Giulia!!
As for the "manifold" Q, I got an aeronautical engineer in college, but am by no means a mechanic. But, here goes...
Bas I believe is right or close to it. I'm guessing it's "bleed air"--that is, it siphons air from the compressor section, to 1.) start other engines 2.) air cond'n/pressurize cabin 3.) deice wings and such. Tell-tale is the "exhaust port" (facing us.) It will dump the excess siphon overboard, and/or the heat exchanging hot air....
I may be totally "Bas" ackward wrong, but at least it sounds good! ;-)
Did I WIN THE DATE WITH THE IN-FAMOUS MISS T?!?!?!?!?!
Hey Bas Man!!!!!!!!!!!
What a lovely Surprise!!!!!
H E L L O.....my dumbass....does't understand the right OR wrong answers...!!!!
that would be funny....if it was just a 'glorified' A/C unit......!!
Hey, maybe it'll make me look smart....
;/
Nahhhhhhhhh!!
are you saying the MD-11's are fixing to completely be out of service?????
gonna check the 'link' you put here...Thanks.....
I just LOVE........the KLM MD-11's.......the 'blue' livery......but now.....I have the "Blues" for real......when they're gone......:((((((
Hope all is well....Bas Man.....with studies, work,life....!!
