Have you ever wondered why you fart while flying in an aircraft or why it stinks so bad? I recall a flight school student in the front seat of an Apache helicopter passing gas. His damn smelly fart found its way all the way to the back seat where I was. Unfortunately, I did not have a gas mask or eject button, nor could you open a window in an Apache. Can’t recall exactly, but assume he got a “U” (UNSAT) for the day. Anyways, the science behind why farts stink in cockpits is pretty interesting.
