It's foam, it's designed and I quote one of the links

The foam generators suspended from the ceiling released suppressant similar to soap that submerged the planes in the hangar. It takes two minutes to fill a 90,000 square-foot hangar with more than three feet of two percent high-expansion biodegradable foam.

Here’s a video showing how fire suppression systems work.




Impressive isn't it.

I wonder if there is a mobile version ? Dining in Night fun :E

Cleanliness has always been next to godliness in the forces!;)

At a foreign base I once worked at, a severe thunderstorm was forecast. The chief engineer decided to bring all the aircraft into the hangar to protect them.

The storm arrived, the hangar was struck by lightning and the foam system was triggered!

Result as above..... :p

Mess-cannons for the 21st century!

Rosevidney,

If cleanliness is next to godliness, I think your dictionary is missing a few pages.....:=:eek:

May not be a problem for the USAF as such. ;)

OC to Airman Bloggs "Bloggs clean all the aircraft by tomorrow"

Bloggs to Pratt "Pratt, hit that red button on the hanger wall, then we can go for a pint or two"

Thanks Green Knight, I get a kick out of the USAF getting hand me down helo's from the Marine Corps.

A nice reversal of the usual... I admit it gave this old Jarhead Sgt a thrill.
