True to my form of finally catching up with what is now considered old news, I saw the videos. That was amazing. I am very happy everything turned out OK and that everyone can go on with their lives. Well done LOT!

Delivered in 1997; fairly late along the 763 line, and there aren't a whole lot of spare -300s lying around, so it may yet make sense to fix this one up. Although if anything even looked at the rear bulkhead funny, Boeing's not going to touch it. It's also not like LOT had a ton of spare long-haul capacity to call on, so they may be antsy to get this back in the air. The insurance company, of course, makes the final decision.
Re: blow-down bottles. I know you can blow the gear on things like piston twins and I guess helicopters [hmm- Connecticut, wheels, the -76?], but those both have relatively light undercarriages. Can you use blowdown bottles on landing gear as big as a 767 would have?
-76, well as of yesterday, yes I'm working on that manual....but I was referering to the S-92 and its mil derivative the CH-148, which hasa far heavier undercarriage than the -76. I am not sure if a blow-down bottle can be used on a gear the size of a 767's or not. The depth of my knowledge of landing gears pretty much ends with the S-92/CH-148 airframe as I have never really dove into any others at this time.Quote:
