hydraulic story

[jdouglas@mitre.org (jason douglas)]

Here's a story that makes me appreciate the hydraulic 
system on my audi....

I know a guy who used to fly helicopters in the Navy (before
he decided it was a stupid way to make a living).  He once had a
pinhole hydraulic leak inside while in flight.  He didn't have any problems 
getting it down safely, but he was sure that he had a fire!  Seems that 
all the pressure pushing the oil through a pinhole pretty well atomized
it, and he thought the mist was smoke!

I'd say he was damn lucky there was nothing hot  enough
to ignite it!
