Four US Army 160th SOAR MH-60M Black Hawks - Smoky Startup, Taxi Out and Take Off from TRI 30Aug24

Possible labyrinth seal allowing turbine oil into the burner can?

I think the white smoke that occurs in the MH-60M on the far right is due to oil mixing into the fuselage. Or can you provide another explanation?

[@piloto_loco]

air condition test, it's steam, not smoke.

[@sirtango1]

Either a little fuel or possibly oil pooled in the bottom of the turbine. Likely fuel.

[@Delatta1961]

Looks like an engine drain is clogged. I agree, probably residual fuel from the previous shutdown

[@tonyjackson4099]

Gray smoke is usually oil.
