  • When nose gear fails to drop down and lock, what is best option?

    Maybe set it down on a stool...

    Simple, elegant and effective solution. Wouldn't try this with any other jet though...

      Reminds me of the difference between the C-54 (at least some of them) and the C-118. (For our civilian studio audience at home, those are DC-4's and DC-6's).

      Supposedly, after the -54 was parked, you weren't suppose to go internally astern until they put a post under the tail. But that problem didn't exist with the -118. (as a child, I was one place where we had a detachment consisting of -54's and -118's.)
