Shouldn't there be evidence of rotor wash?

And why is the landing gear down?

Gravdigr · 05-24-2016, 05:10 PM

When I've seen them flying over my house the gear is always down.

The landing gear system consists of four non-retractable landing gears: two forward and two aft. The forward landing gear assemblies are fixed non-swiveling type, with two wheels per assembly, while the aft gear utilizes one wheel per assembly. A power steering unit is installed on the right aft gear only. Some early CH-47A aircraft are equipped with standard aft gear with two wheels at each location, but without power steering.

From here, page 9.

I could have sworn I'd seen them wheels-up.

Yes, a lot of it.
You may have seen pictures of a CH-46 where the rear wheels don't hang down very far, or maybe a 107/234 that PAN AM and the loggers use(d). I'm not sure if they had retractable gear or not.

Actually that phone booth was for the loadmaster, as I understand it.

When Orville Wright died, Neil Armstrong was already 17 years old.

The legendary B-52 is about to get a lot more lethal

xoxoxoBruce · 05-28-2016, 01:40 PM

Yes, eight $18,000 Jdams more gooder, than a $1.4 million cruise.

Two German Eurofighter Typhoons, followed by four Swedish Gripens, all on the right wing of a USAF B-52 Stratofortress. On the left wing of the BUFF, are two Polish, and four USAF, F-16 Fighting Falcons.
