OOPS - National Guard hangar and foamed all 10 aircraft

[SSCBD]

Yes you might be having a bad day, but it's probably not a "tell your boss you set off the fire suppression system at the Minnesota National Guard hangar and foamed all 10 aircraft” kind of bad day...

Ooo! Bugger..........(

How come there is no foam on the top of the choppers etc? Seems to suggest the foam came from somewhere outside the frame???

Reminds me of when I let off a foam extinguisher inside a cromwell tank. It looked just lovely foaming out of the turret.

They're just washing them.

[onetrack]

That'd make the CO foam at the mouth.

The hangar fire suppression systems are often plumbed under the concrete floor and spray foam upwards.

I have seen testing of such systems. Usually messy and time consuming as all aircraft and equipment has to be removed first.

This is serious. I’m not sure what foam they used but some can be corrosive. This might take much more than a simple hose down to return the aircraft to service.
