## Discrepancy

THE CREW ADVISED THAT SMELLED SMOKE IN THE AFT CABIN SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FROM LGA.  FLIGHT DIVERTED TO AN UNEVENTFUL EMERGENCY LANDING AT JFK. MAINTENANCE FOUND ALL  OF THE RECIRCULATION FAN CIRCUIT BREAKERS TRIPPED AND THE FAN IMPELLER JAMMED.  AFTER THE RECIRCULATION FAN WAS REPLACED, AND THE FUNCTIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD, THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
