Well folks it looks like the aircraft pictured below just returned from a test flight after a heavy check. While performing some more checks the ground proximity was deactivted for some tests. The landing gear handle was actuated and SUPRISE!!! Someone forgot to put in the nose gear pin. Preliminary reports also indicate there is damage to one of the main landing gear as well. I guess those Tulsa boys wont feel so bad about ripping that forward entry door off of that 777 they just completed the heavy on anymore. shock.gif
This is what happens when you dont follow procedures. Plain and simple.

I am used to hearing LOUD BANGS at AFW, but THIS ONE takes the cake. It was Boutwell's JAW hitting the floor! Aren't we TRYING to REDUCE COSTS? Who, in the House Of Clowns, had to call MR Lyons? MOC? I bet the call to FINANCE, for repair funding, was especially Humbling!!

dry.gif -------- Not good! But sh*%t happens! We had a nose gear collapse on us here at MCI years back on an 767. An Aircraft that size sitting on it's nose is a sight to behold! Retract cylinder failed after being farmed out to third party for overhaul!

Got an update that the keel beam might be damaged as well. Looks like the plane just might be scrapola!!! O course they will figure this in to next quarters loss as well. On the brighter side thats one less plane we have to worry about retiring. shock.gif
