skibum Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I was recently on a trip and had cause to be concerned about a potential stow away. In anticipation I examined the wheel wells. The main gear well is tight and it's unlikely anyone (skinny or not) would survive the gear coming up. However, you could safely fit family of fat people in the nose gear compartment with the gear up. I had the crew chief and LM keep an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerkFE Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Seems I have heard stories from Nam where planes going in to certain locations would take off and fly gear down up to cruise altitude because of stowaways running out and climbing up in the wheel well. The reasoning was that if they crawled up in there they would freeze/pass out and fall out. Wasn't as messy as cleaning up a wheel well from a squished up skinny. Could have been just a story someone made up but sounds logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
