Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: When Novair took delivery of their two -400's in spring 1989, they contracted out the line and base maintenance to Dan-Air Engineering in Manchester (MAN). Unfortunately the Dan-Air hangar at Manchester wasn't quite high enough to accommodate the taller tail on the B737-400.... so what did they do? The next five photo's show how they did it....... ..... They designed a hydraulic tow bar which could lift the nose of the aircraft and therefore lower the tail enough to be able to get it through the hangar doors ...... ...... it required a delicate balancing act to ensure that the tail didn't hit the ground, then push it gently backwards ...... ...... it was the first time this had been tried on a 'live' aircraft so everyone held their breath as it continued to move slowly backwards ...... ...... almost in position. They had even remembered to cut a hole in the hangar ceiling to accommodate the top of the tail when they let the nose down again ...... ...... an there we are, in position at last! It all happened in reverse to get it out again. |
