"Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden is living
comfortably in a house in northwest
Pakistan close to his deputy Ayman
al-Zawahiri, CNN on Monday quoted a
NATO official as saying.

The Saudi-born militant wanted for the
September 11 attacks on the United
States nine years ago is being protected
by local people and "some members of
the Pakistani intelligence services," the
television network said."

I would have regarded him as among the most trustworthy
Canutistani govmonks, best of the best, a leader of men we
could look up to, towering above us, with unimpeachable
ethics and judgement.
NEVER trust a Canuti govmonk worker!
The whole circus will likely cost me $30,000,000 paying for
govmonks doing paper work.
The victims cost was beyond money, he murdered fellow
soldiers.

So I was watching "Undercover Boss" this week where a guy from
Frontier airlines went out and had to do some ground crew jobs,
including working the giant "RV dump system" that is an airliner
latrine service.

It got me to thinking, with the water dump system for takeoff that the
F-105 used, as well as early B-52 and KC-135 aircraft, if this could
be incorporated into the aircraft to make the ground crews’ life
easier? It would work beast on trans-oceanic flights. Just rig a
couple main tanks and one small one. The main tanks will be used on
the flights until one gets far out over the ocean and is coming close
to the other continent. At this point the pilot eases on the throttles
and flips a switch, pumping the sewer water from the two main tanks to
the rear parts of the engine nozzles, generating steam to increase
thrust for a short time while it dumps like a nasty RV driver going
down the road, and firing flaming steaming turds out of the back of
the airplane at about 500 miles per hour. .

Now it would have to still be while they were over the ocean but after
most of the people who were going to use the facilities have done
their business, so the approach phase works best. Environmental
factors and all.

Obviously it wouldn’t go over to have the "stuff" pumped into the
engines for added thrust on take off blasting stuff all over the
runway and making "picture perfect" takeoffs for the people watching
from the glassed in (we hope) terminals.

Especially if the airline wants to make the classic "Airliner taking
off over our spokesmodel on the runway" type TV ad.

Though it would save having to pump the waste stuff out between
flights, with just a tank of blue water needed to replenish after
every takeoff, and tap into after the "bad" tanks got dumped.
"Dumping" over land on landing approach isn’t recommended either (you
think the people near the airports complain about the noise…)

No it is best to keep it for that final part of the flight over water,
one can even tell the environmental lobby that it will save fuel. A
third small tank can be kept for that final part of the flight, easier
to empty for the ground crew than the two big mains.
