Agreed. But the point I'm making is that Chimbu stated the main wheels are ALMOST always aft of the CoG in a JET.

The main wheels are ALWAYS aft of the CoG in any aircraft. As I stated (maybe re-read my original post?), the moment arm, ie. the distance between the wheels and the CoG is what makes the difference, not the fact that the main wheels are "almost always" behind the CoG.
