In-flight Toilet Flush at 32,000 Feet Above Four Corners

Over the years I've spent a little too much time on business flights. Luckily, as I get older, that's starting to slow down not to mention what $150 a barrel of oil is going to do! Anyway, the pilot made it clear we were above Four Corner (where Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico meet) so what better time to catch those beautiful blue waters swirling down the stainless steel convenience while 32,000 feet above ground level??

I also have additional toilet reasoning explained on my "Toilet Matters" page at:

Unbelievable ... because the fecal matter really falling off the plane or is it a kind of suction toilet?

@MrTogruta

It's a kind of "suction" toilet without anything falling out of the plane to the ground. Everything is porperly "recovered" when the plane lands and is serviced at the airport...

Back in the summer of 2004 I was on an Excel airways Boeing 767-200ER going to Tobago from Gatwick and it had ones exactly like this

@thomsonfly645k

It must be a common feature?

[thomsonfly645k]

@zeekzilch A common feature on older aircraft

Thanks for the info!

Argh I hate plane toilets, They scare me!

@TheAnonymousAspie no those ones were the water flush ones but this April I flew Athens back to London Heathrow on British Airways 767-300ER and the ones on it were vacuum

The excel airways 767 was about 10 years older than the british airways 767

hope this helped
