Boeing quirks

Postby jb2_86_uk » Thu Apr 21, 2005 2:16 pm

Hi all, I must say I noticed this a while ago on the 747s but have started noticing them on 767s too. Does anyone know what two black circles (holes? vents?) on the top of boeing fuselages are for? they are dead center on top, about halfway down the fuselage. These mysterious things do not appear on the default aircraft, but i have seen them on downloaded aircraft and in reallife photos. Can anyone help? this is gonna bug me!

Hmm...never noticed.  Is it only on Boeings?  It could be a static port of some sort...
Great edit, Bob.

I work on 737's, so this is ony an educated guess. It could either be galley or toilet venting. The 737 has similar, but not dead center and forward and rear in position. As I said only a guess.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
