Okay, more seriously— A very nice portrait.
So wheels & brakes? At our westward stopover in Phoenix, I noticed a rack of B737 tires: larger ones for the main gear and smaller ones for the nose gear. A Google search followed when we got home and I saw a fascinating Youtube video of a 737 nose tire change! Pretty much the same as changing the tire on a car, but that jack to lift the nose of a 737 has to have some serious lifting power!
@rhoing yes wheels & brakes, off to a trade show next week to meet other aircraft spares companies. Some of the wheels we do are almost as big as me (I'm only 5ft) and they certainly need a good jack.
