WTAF? 1/3 of the fluid being displaced by water isn't some weird condensation issue; it got pumped in like that. 100M aircraft and we're using hydraulic fluid from some random ebay liquidator.
Ea-Nasir is branching out
Ya, someone is getting burned at the stake for that.
Maybe... The thing is that the US is going full Russia where fealty is more important than results. And we all know how corrupt every level of government is in Russia.
It probably sat out in a storm or was cleaned or something without the tanks being properly closed or they had a leak and then didn't do a full preflight. That's my guess, small planes can get loads of water in their fuel tanks sitting outside and it's something we have to check each time.
$200m aircraft. And that's an insane amount of water to have in a system.
Was it just water, or coolant of some description?
That special 'hydraulic water' was purchased at inkjet ink prices tho.
