I lost a very good friend a month ago. he had a inflight fire after  
takeoff and the plane flipped on landing and burned on the ground  
with him in it. Ever since i have been discussing with other fliers  
the possibilities of a fire suppression system in the engine room. I  
was contemplating a 4-5 lb fire extinguisher activatad by the pilot  
and leading to 2-3 spray heads around the engine. In case of fire you  
can shut the fuel pumps off, fuel valve off and master off. With the  
extinguisher running for few seconds, most likely the fire will not  
ignite again?
