Hey Dysag, you got moved to Spotters Corner anyway.

Most people in commercial aviation (me included) couldn't give a toss. We have far more important things to worry about.

Question from a SLF. Why did the pilot leave the wheels down after take-off? Is that because it's a first test flight?

Just curious...
