Condition of MLGs
Quote from mm43:
the MLG has a a pair of wheels that have dug in, but everything else is pristine,
Quote from PJ2, re Left MLG assembly:
Also, the small uplock pin near the bottom of the strut (two small 'ears') is missing, lending some support to the notion that the gear broke away and began its extension at impact, as discussed.
(Thanks for the enhanced images!) Yes, what a noteworthy difference between both MLGs and the rest of the debris...
