Apparently yes, if you light a match to try to cover the smell.

I've farted many times on a plane.

I can only assume that I lack that certain special something necessary to ground a plane.

Sandy,
Try Guiness and raw eggs the night before the flight.

You must know that I will do just that.

Funny, but didn't have to Snopes it to see the comments on the same site disparaging it as fake.

farting is a art, you have to be able to fart in a crowd and make it look like someone else did it.

The night before we flew from Munich back to O'hare int'l, we had a long night at the famous Hofbrauhaus. Viel, kraut, sausage, and massive amounts of beer.

nine hour flight + 8 satisfied colons = rofl

with jets, farting is pretty much all that gets them off the ground

If I am in the aisle and need to cut some cheese I usually wait til the guy next to me gets out and let loose with a silent but deadly so he gets the blame.

From the news about this I read seems this woman was a hippopotamus shaped flatulance factory.
