That reminds me……I once new a guy, who’s brother’s, girlfriend’s ex, (now gay) knew a QF LAME that arrived a B737 a few years back and told this story.
Upon arrival the nose oleo appeared to have deflated, however the A/C taxied and parked normally. Then in the Tech log was;
“Aircraft requires spirratic applications of elevator trim in cruise (FL350). First 2-3 units nose dwn followed shortly after by several units nose up. Repeated several times throughout flight at varying intervals.”
The LAME was very puzzled by this, and knew no Maint. Manual could ever explain what he was about to discover. Suddenly the nose oleo returned to normal extension just after cc disembarked. He looked closely at what he thought was the ass end of an elephant……..Sh*t No…. it was C…D the CSM surrounded by several hershi highway boys.
Well all was explained, and from that day forward a notice to crew explained the intricacies of flying the B737 with C….D on board.
