V2500 Cowl Video

8.30 into the clip. i believe these are the original latches without later mods and really bright paint, however, snapped shut without engagement isn't easy to see as the panels naturally sit flush. Inspection does require a pretty low stoop. It's certainly not the most elegant or foolproof design, and after a long overnight shift and an early walkaround in the dim light on stand, well, i see a pretty big hunk of unfortunately positioned swiss cheese doing the T5 to Oslo run.
Cool heads prevailed. People make mistakes. I'm very glad to see they were all made prior to V1.
