Historic restored Alaska planes.
Had one of the early 737s with the kit to operate on gravel runways.
ПутешественникThe gravel suppression ski ended up being a huge panic program at Boeing. They sold the gravel kit to allow operation on gravel runways in Alaska to the customer without really having a solution in mind, and it turned out that the simple solution (brushes around the nose wheels) did not work -- it actually sent more gravel into the engine than without it. They ended up building a gravel runway for testing, and fitted a 737 with screens on the engines and with high speed cameras to test various solutions -- finally found that the ski did a good job suppressing gravel disturbed by the tires.

Dozer had a fall and seems to have hurt a leg joint, but doing better now - will find a vet tomorrow if he is notЧитать далее
ПутешественникDozer seems fine today - no limp at all. It was a bit scary as he went down on his side and squealed in pain for about 30 seconds, but seems perfectly fine today.
