World MD-11 on its tail
http://s01.tcuniverse.com/vkmedia_st..._clean_790.jpg
Word is this happened at Bagram in the last few days. Anyone confirm? Probably a very difficult location to deal with major structural repairs to a civilian aircraft. Never a good time for something like this but certainly they didn't need more misery at World right now. :( |
Happened during the offload on the 7th. No one hurt.
|
Ouch! Glad no one was hurt. Any back lash to the Captain or ground crew?
|
Someones getting fired!

Whoever didn't tie down the nose...

Ok I'll bite, is that a joke or do they really tie down the nose gear?

Yes, the nose gear is tethered down to the ground or a weight cart is tethered to the nose gear.

Are the crews responsible for any portion of the loading/offloading of the aircraft in these ACMI operations or are they already off site when loading/unloading usually occurs?
