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.

I didn't think of that, it makes sense.

I still have no idea why anyone would smell exhaust in flight, but that has
never happened to me. If I smell it, it's generally on the ground, just after
landing.
