I still don't see an explanation for the kerosene smell. I assume nobody
knows?

I've often smelled jet-engine exhaust (mainly the smell of jet fuel) after
landing. I assume this is exhaust partially drawn back into the engine and
the packs, but I don't really know. As for the smell in flight, that would be
unusual, and it's not obvious how exhaust could find its way back into the
packs.


Just flew into another jet's wake? Not uncommon.
