If you call a brief glance from the ramp, along the centre line of the a/c, towards the nose bay I suggest you think again. It just so happens thet the black round tyre shaped things do a good job of hiding a techies legs whilst in the nose bay, so a good visual from the front is probably a good idea. The only reason the techie is in ther in the first place is to make sure the a/c is earthed to ground, and to insert the nose leg pin. I mean it would be such a shame if some poor litte impatient mover got a belt of static wigglies or the nose leg collapsed. Just remember we are trying to make the a/c safe, not leave the shape of our skulls on the airframe. Besides it is you that is operating the ramp so therefore should it not be you who makes sure it is safe to do so?

I remember the teachings of a wise old chief, the most dangerous thing on a herc isn't the engines or crew but the movers.
