It was more likely that the deplaning of the passengers before the cargo that cause the nose strut to extend after parking.

Seems like some of the OC/LA/SFO gangs decided to tag the walls. Big uproar on the LA News about how could the companies hire these thugs? Gee, well, let's thank outsourcing for this little development.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're flying in blue skies and mild winds.amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.com
