Out of the fog

Probably not so clever to be taking pictures over your shoulder whilst towing $70 million  (plus or minus a mill or two) in thick fog, but I think it came out quite well.

Interesting, hopefully you didn't jack knife it! ;D

Can I take a guess at what it is?

Too late, I think it is a 737-??? Air Berlin

You would not think so when it is two in the morning, the rain is coming down sideways and you have a main wheel to change [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif]

I know that feeling so well... you forgot to mention the almost freezing temperature that goes with the sideways rain, and the windgust...

when you are wetsoak up to the underwears at the end of the first hour of your shift...

when you can't touch the parts you are supposed to replace without being either frozen or burnt...

when you get temporarily blind due to that @*#$& hydraulic fluid jumping into your eyes while holding a very expensive and sensible parts in your hands, while being 10 feets high trying not to fall down....

and so, and so... the life of A/C engineers...







and you like it, so much, don't you?
