Thanks to the photographer, my education has been enhanced by seeing something done I did not know existed in practice.

A visitor from - posted Sun August 9, 2009:
The fluids look a little like frozen precipitation. How cool would it be to have an MD-11 engine for a snow maker?

A visitor from - posted Tue February 3, 2009:
I'm sure those fluids are being handled as toxic! Interesting shot as I have never seen an engine cleaned like that. Thanks

Wax On, Wax Off.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue February 3, 2009:
Hi jerry, nice picture. I think it is actually an engine wash. Cleaner engines save fuel !

A visitor from Qatar posted Tue February 3, 2009:
It looklike scrap.an aircraft's picture should be perfect

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue February 3, 2009:
Compressor wash.

A visitor from Bahrain posted Tue February 3, 2009:
They are cleaning the engine that's why many liquids spurt.It's part of the process

A visitor from Canada posted Tue February 3, 2009:
Nice capture, they are doing a Compressor Wash from my experience.

A visitor from United States posted Mon February 2, 2009:
Nice catch.

i think it might the leftover water from an engine wash. the jet blast from ignition prolly just blew the rest of the water out. :]

A visitor from United States posted Mon February 2, 2009:
From the color of the liquid, it looks like the MD-11F is lactose intolerant.

A visitor from - posted Mon February 2, 2009:
Looks like a turbine wash, its done to help try to restore lost engine perfomance.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 2, 2009:
They just cleaned it. ;-)
