Here's one for G.Ley Landing Gear check! Or as we say in the USN Drop Check!
I thought Mr Ley's jack stands were just wonderful and for those that may not have seen the real think in action here is one of my C-2 getting raised up on jacks for comparison. on C-2s you always start with the mains then raise the nose. His stands are so realistic looking!
Great photos, Rob. What Squadron is this C-2?
VRC 30 Det 3 when we were in Baharain.
Great photos!.Drop checks, even more fun on a carrier at sea. How about when all the GSE was yellow, aka 'yellow gear'.
Yep, at sea we had to do a drop check on Nimitz. CAG and the Skipper of the boat were all down watching us. Jacking up a C-2 at sea is a major event!
I can only imagine!
Thanks for the insight, Rob...good stuff!
I was just so impressed with Mr Ley's jacks, simple yet so close the real thing!
