hung nose gear

[comiso90]

This CH-53E has a hung nosewheel. To correct the problem the pilot lands on the two back wheels and pitches the airframe back (without rolling away) to make room for the ground crew to get underneath the aircraft to free the nosegear. Impressive.

The crew will be talking about that for a long time....
I wonder wha they would have done if the couldnt get the gear down..

Roll out a 55 gallon drum?... a jack stand? Stack a few phone books?

My guess would have been mattresses. Plenty of them on a ship ! They
have scads of them for damage control..

Oh great. Thanks. 4:14 seconds of my life that I will have to repeat over and over again.

Well... at my age... perhaps only twice a day at most.
