Flying makes you fart more

Finally a scientific study worthy of the time and money spent on it.

Everyone does it, it’s not just you. Flying makes us fart more. The change of pressure causes abdominal bloating as the small amounts of air inside us expand, and there’s only one way it’s going to go. This problem is a serious issue for pilots – 60% of whom report regular issues with bloating. And, at one point, Nasa was concerned that astronauts’ flatulence would be lethal in the confines of a cabin: a 1969 paper highlighted the risk of a fireball resulting from the high concentration of human gas in spacecraft.

Despite popular belief, studies show men are not more flatulent than women, for example (though they may be more public about it); in fact the same study from the late 90s found women’s flatulence has a higher concentration of the smelly sulphurous compounds, and was rated as having a more potent odour by a few unlucky judges.

Giving all terrorist ideas again.
I see it now, Abu Skyhook Ali Ali Oxenfree eats beans for a week. Passenger in seat a5 fires up his laptop and BOOM!!!!

Thats why crop dusting is such a normal thing for pilots to do in their planes.

Yep, but totally different. No one's ever gotten the bends from plane landing to fast.

I've always found stuffing an airplane pillow between my legs stifles the smell. Probably sucks for the guy wanting to sleep on the next flight though.

I've suspected this since I started traveling for work.

Does this mean pilots are all sitting up there in the cockpit ripping off pant plumes?

Yes. Which is the real reason why they keep the cockpit locked

19 September 2006 Unnews vinogradov Cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov was ordered to permanently wear his bulky spacesuit aboard the space station after the farting incident. HOUSTON, Texas -- A brief panic ensued about the International Space Station and at its mission control center earlier today, almost causing the crew to evacuate. What was initially thought to be a deadly toxic leak turned out to just be some excessive flatulence from Russian commander Pavel Vinogradov. The incident began at approximately 4 a.m. eastern time, when the crew noticed an overpowering odor. They were sure it must have been a chemical leak from one of the station's power systems, and an emergency ventilation system was activated. As the astronauts rushed to don oxygen masks and identify the source of the foul smell, mission control members in Houston began drawing up contingency plans for an evacuation. Gauges about the space station quickly began showing unhealthy sulfur levels, and the methane readings were literally off the charts. "The methane indicator's needle was all the way to the right, and clearly straining to move even more," commented a NASA official. But all of the station's systems seemed to be operating as normal, which baffled engineers trying to figure out what caused the problem. "At first we were sure it was some malfunction with the system indicators - something had to be majorly wrong," explained technician Michael Olasker. Astronaut Jeff Williams frightfully recalled the ordeal, saying his thoughts immediately went to the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission. "The smell was overwhelming - I thought I was going to pass out, but luckily I happened to be right near where the oxygen masks are stored when the incident began." It is shortly afterwards that Williams noticed something odd. While his fellow American astronauts were also terrified and gasping for air, Russian commander Pavel Vinogradov remained calm and continued chowing down on his freeze dried beans. The cosmonaut fanned the air with his hand and yelled out "oh, excuse me," at which point officials at mission control breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Vinogradov had simply farted. "It's a pretty cramped space up there," admitted space station manager Mike Suffredini, "We try to organize the crew's diet to minimize flatulence, but somehow those damned Russians snuck some beans in." Vinogradov was deeply apologetic for the incident, and the crew all had a hearty laugh about it afterwards. The cosmonaut even has a corny joke for the occasion: "In Soviet space station Mir - flatulence farts you!"

I wish we could open a window at 30,000 feet

This reminds me of the Steve-O/Jackass FartMask sketch.
