See: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photoga..._Nosewheel.jpg Airbus may not know how to make a landing gear mechanism that works reliably, but they sure do know how to make it TOUGH. It's hard to imagine the stresses on that gear as the wheels ground themselves into oblivion... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Good thing the wheels stayed perpendicular to the nose, if the nose wheel was cocked at 45* or something other than straight or 90* you would have a wild ride when the nose wheel touched. Yes, that would have been a real test of pilot skill. I wonder if the rudder, asymetric reverse thrust AND differential braking could overcome a 45 degree nosewheel? I'd hate to be part of the crew that had to find out. Matt
