Generally when they do this it’s because of worms or an issue with the anal sac.

These airplanes don't just decide to have a seat, I always hope to hear why this happened. It's always human error, but learning the story behind the pictures is always informative.

Well, like pets, it’s a mess to clean up afterwards….

It was a maintenance problem and not a loading issue.

Well it's definitely a maintenance problem now!

Maybe it should'a had a stick up its butt. :stir:

(idc if ":stir:" is broken, I'm still gonna use it; no write-up, no problem)

That makes it even more intriguing, were they moving fuel around without a tail stand?

No. Long story short, the rumor is the pins were in the wrong hole. So when ICN mx retracted the gear handle. Taadaa.

I'm still a newbie in aviation, 49 years, but to me, it looks like the gear is down.

Because the nose and wing are pinned right. The body on the other hand you can tell is partly retracted.

Thanks. That makes sense.

Yeah, come back when you have 100 years flying, we might respect your opinion then
