It’s a mystery that has yet to be solved.
In a press release issued late Monday, 8 Wing Trenton officials say that a light mist of hydraulic fluid was found on a few vehicles in the Trenton Canadian Tire parking lot.
Canadian Tire is on the flight path to runways at the base.
Aircraft that had been conducting flight training Monday were inspected for loss of hydraulic fluid but no leaks were discovered.
An investigation by 8 Wing’s Environmental Office continues. People who discovered the mist on their vehicles should wash them with detergent and dispose of the wash rag in accordance with hazardous material handling guidelines.
