How exactly does the crew "deal with engine fire" in mid-flight? I know nothing about aircraft. Is there some sort of fire suppression system in place for the engines?

There are 2 engine fire extinguisher bottles.Quote:

Typical procedure is to activate first bottle, then contact air traffic control, and if fire didn't go out with first bottle, use the second bottle.

Way to stereotype and claim African Vultures only belong in the air over Africa! I’m calling my representative over at the NAACTV, National Association for the Advancement of Colored Turkey Vultures and report this insidious talk.Quote:

^^ Now you're just vulture signalling.
I judge vultures by the content of their character, not the color of their feathers.

Not if you're a mouthbreather. [Coffee]
That's funny right there!
