    American Airlines Flight 730 S80 Fluid Leak (Video)

    By tropicaltree  |  Posted July 25, 2008  |  Hollywood, Florida
     

    I flew home from Chicago on 7/21/08 on Flight 730, a McDonnell Douglas

    S80. I noticed that fluid was leaking from the wing outside my window

    while we were at altitude. Once we dropped down to land and reduced

    speed the leak stopped. I have no idea whether this is problematic. The

    .mov shows the fluid dribbling out, and the .jpg shows the stain

    pattern on the wing. The second .jpg is a still of the fluid leaking.

     

    On Friday this same flight (to Chicago) was diverted to Indianapolis

    due to (according to the captain) being low on fuel, not being able to

    stay in the holding pattern until the runways opened at O'Hare. This

    precipitated a 45 minute flight to Indy, an hour on the ground, and

    another 45 minute flight back to O'Hare.
