A Unique, And Approved, Method Of Jacking Up The Nose Of A Boeing 767 After An Unintended Nose Gear Retraction.

Shot location: IAH (Photos courtesy of our Texas Smartphone Division)

A hanger incident resulted in the un-commanded retraction of the nose gear, which caused enough damage to the forward jacking point to require some really creative thinking.

A specialized Boeing Team was brought in to jack the aircraft back up, and to repair the damage to the lower fuselage.  This is where it got really interesting.

Apparently, with the proper apparatus and brackets, you can run a support beam on jacks through the cockpit windows to return the bird to her upright position.

Neat stuff.
