What a fine addition to this thread! That is the kind of thing I was looking for. The DC9 wing is close enough to the ground that a tall pilot can reach up and feel it...the leading edge that is.

Perhaps this is why our ancient pilots always added a few knots for the wife and kids? Bent wings,all sorts of things that degrade the plane must be accounted for by the prudent pilot.
