Pieces are pretty big so I am assuming a slow drain had an ice build up until the weight of the ice in the airflow resulted in the ice leaving the aircraft. I see he kept the ice for evidence or.......perhaps drinks later in the day ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boestar Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 That aint lav juice.... Been there done that.... That is likely a leaking potable water service valve. fairly common issue. They drip for extended periods and the ice builds up inside the panel until if forces the panel open. At that point it lets go and heads for earth. Most times the water leak does not force the panel open and some porr water service guy has to chip the ice out of the panel to service the water again. Been there done that too.
