good try anyway ???
shoulda used temperpedic's
So mattresses are Standard Operating Procedure? Was just talking about it to my supervisor who was in the airforce and that's what we were guessing.Gear up landings? Mattresses are SOP - normally it isn't a complete gear failure though.
That's the best idea I have heard all daydang figured some cowboy would run over and give the wheel struts a good tug first..
just wrap a few weight belts around your mid section to keep from going "blender" through the intakes...
I bet that is a sight to see.... amazing this stuff even fly's in the first place..Usually, you see this with -53s (big helos with retractable gear)... and as was stated, it typically happens with the nose gear (door gets stuck) so what is funny is watching the helo pull into a hover, lower the rescue hoist ( to ground the a/c) then have someone come underneath the plane to pry down the gear... if it is a no go, then out come the mattresses!
