I was impressed with the after crash photos of the LG. Instead of piercing the top surface of the wing's skin, the wing came off. This company built a/c for the Navy, and they were very stout. The engineering of the LG is extensive, and it seems (perhaps just a useless observation) that the LG can survive just about anything. But, why should it? That mammoth Beast can 'Bounce' ? Even the Nose Gear remained in position. Did anyone catch that last Bounce on the NG? Criminy.
