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

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

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. :]

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.
