Passing an MD-11??? I thought that's hard to do, jungle. Oh, and great shots as usual.

It's not so hard when we're trying to save Jet-A.


Do you have a time and loaction for those, jungle? It'd be cool to get a copy of those to the crew. If you don't know, I'll just assume it's me.

Nice white underbelly, but what is that rectagular piece on the butt crack? Serve any purpose?

Is it a hard-point for a tail strike? Tail skid perhaps?

The rectangular area is the location of the APU and APU intake door(closed here) and various drains. The APU exhaust is just outside the upper right side of the rectangle. The area isn't painted because heat transfer would cook the paint.
