Do Not Use Humans as Jet Fuel



You learn something every day.

I'm not so sure what to say. However, I can tell you that I have close ties to Alaska Airlines and that is an Alaska Airlines Boeing 747. I don't know where you got that picture from, but that is the right engine. When the aircraft starts, air is sucked in through the propeller, which located in the large drum (which is what you see in the picture). The warning sign is to tell humans not to climb in there.

In short, that is NOT where they put the fuel.

Thanks for the info, Sasha E.! I do hope you understand that this is meant to be humorous. The little flap looks like a fuel flap, which looks, to me, funny next to the No Humans sign. I took the picture, on my last leisurely travel....
