Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Fueldumping. The same was observed on its previous visit two weeks ago: 'Only during take-off, just 35 litres...', the crew replied when the Tower wanted to know what it was they observed... (right, 35 litres....) :D

Jonas, we meet again 8)
I think it's the vent valve, this happens often during accelleration when a plane's wing tanks are full.

I don't no much about Boeing aircraft, but you could be right.
In the horizontal stabilliser on the Airbus A330/A340 I work on there is a valve that makes sure the fuel can't get into the vent. tank but this is only on the horizontal stabilliser.
(I have replaced thise valves a couple of times, because they break off).

It used to be a more common sight in the past, I've seen fuel streaming from many a 707/DC-8 during taking off - and from a bunch of mil types too, for that matter. Looks like this issue has been tackled in more modern designs.
