that is the left main Gear, and the bogie is pointing 90 degrees from where it should... (flaps behind the gear, light, inboard joint cap... it's the left bit, but folded like a P-40 in the retract, or mixmaster... or 210...) gonna be some interesting materials testing around the scissor link and the lateral brace to see what went first. KMIA will get a new ILS GS antenna out of it for 26.

Sad to see another set of Long Beach's finest cables get tossed onto the dump. With V-2500s it wasn't a bad plane.
