"On the one hand, if the pilot restrains a fart, all the drawbacks previously mentioned, including impaired concentration, may affect his abilities to control the plane," they said.

Choices, choices. What to do, what to do? On the one hand, but on the other..

Is there any truth to the stories that charcoal lined underwear mitigates the odor associated with flatulence?

I once had to land a Cobra because I was overcome by the odor emitted by a crew chief in the front seat with kimchi gas. Opened the canopy and puked down the side of the airframe and onto the dirt near Twentynine Palms. Then I had to deal with the smell of puke and kimchi gas.

Ought to be a law or something.....
