Painting was again delayed due to a need to re-do gun port fairings along with some antenna work. |
The main landing gear, each equipped with two wheels in tandem, is installed in fairings on the underside of the fuselage. |
Usually, touring bikes have hard-shell trunks on either side of the fender, windshields, full fairings, in-dash audio equipment and a dashboard. |
As with any other military aircraft, the cowling and fairings had taken a pretty good beating as they were taken on and off hundreds of times. |
The No. 1 tire on the left main gear blew during the landing roll, and there was minor damage to flaps and fairings. |
These marks were made by flap fairings and aircraft equipment dangling on wiring still attached to the aircraft. |
