Am I the only one here who seems to know that there are two kinds of airplane toilets?…YES..I SAID..2! before the new, high-tech, vacum toilet came along, there was a flap toilet. These toilets were invented in the 80′s and are now not as common as they are being replaced by the vaccum flush on planes. Some vaccum toilets are even being put in buses now!That is rare tho. There are some still around, but most are used on buses and trains and stuff now (flap toilet on a bus: http://www.bargainbusnews.com/Buses/3123-1991PrevostMirageXL/#imgiframediv )…they used so much water and that water had to be stored on the plane which weighed the plane down a good deal…therefore, those kinds are rare but i see them like every other few times I ride a plane. (I’ve been flying my whole life). One weird fact that I found out was that if u are riding a small plane with only one lavatory in the far rear…then it’s most likely an 80′s stanless steel toilet! weird huh? The flap toilet design looks much like an rv toilet. Picture of a flap toilet aboard a plane: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b3s8WgAl1cA/RliXduDSEqI/AAAAAAAAAiU/zX5q_VJM_gU/s400/AArichmondToStlouis.jpg (anyone seen one of those?) The toilet is silver/stainless steel and has a round, plate-like flap blocking the waste exit (much like a trap door). When flushed, the toilet rinses the bowl with a remerkable amount of dark blue, good-smelling water! The flush lasts almost 1 and a half to two times al long as the vaccum flush does (no wonder the planne gets weighed down by all that water!) I guess it is reasonalble to replace the older models with the newer vaccum ones but i prefer the older, QUIETER ones. lol XD

I lost my right hand whilst trying to retrieve a quarter from one of those beasts. I know, you “holier-than-thous” are going to tell me that I shouldn’t flush whilst trying to save money. But you would be wrong. I ACCIDENTLY leaned on the flusher when it happened. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. Sheesh.

I’ve never been in an airplane toilet stall, and I’ve flown dozens of times.

p.s. great, as long as they don’t break and flood the plane. True story.

“Several well documented instances have been reported of extremely obese people flushing aircraft toilets whilst still sitting on them. The vacuum action of these toilets sucked the rectum inside out”
So I’ve heard.
