You can see the landing gear rotate 90 degrees, then retract into the planr.. coolest thing ever.. I only know this because !8 years ago, or so, I built a course showing how the landing gear did that.. like I said, they put a C-5 on blocks, let us climb into the landing gear bay, then retracted the gear as we watched it rotate and retract.. I thought I was gonna be killed when it retracted mere inches away from me in the bay..



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
