I’m betting nothing at all considering it's not a button but a light, indicating the fire bottle is armed.

It would light up, the light itself has a press to test feature.

It means the fire bottle is armed.

Don't over complicate things.

Great shots!

That landing looked to be a heavy one from the photo! Hope they not treating their new toy too roughly!


And yes, fire bottle..... does exactly what it says on the tin!

Heeshung, did you see a TU154 at Dulles today by any chance?

[Heeshung]

I don't visit Dulles daily, nor do I live close to it, so I have no idea whether there was a TU-154 there or not.

This plane will be used for Ethopia to Tel Aviv, Israel run.
