Evenin Woods! Did the guy raise the landing gear while the plane was on the ground? Is that even possible? Or am I missing a euphemism?

Did some troubleshooting on the MIL Jeep Liberty. It as been overheating. They had already put in a gallon of anti-freeze and I put in another. No evidence of leaking and the oil is not milky as if it leaked into the motor. Told her to keep an eye on it and we'll see how it goes

Could be a bad thermostat.

.....
Was a Fairchild F27 twin turboprop, something like 36 or 40 passenger. Gear uses pneumatic cylinders, guy put a new valve somewhere and got it backwards (up and down lines were the same size, a "let's ruin somebody's day" design). Didn't put the pins in (sturdy pins that go through lined up holes in the strut assembly that keep it from moving) and when he fired it up, as soon as it got air pressure it sucked the gear up. Didn't help that on that aircraft the gear fold aft, tuck in behind the engines, so they just rolled under. Both wings and the fuselage broke, not a sturdy airplane!

Boeing and Douglas aircraft all fold inwards and I've been told they can't pull the gear in with the aircraft weight on them. I sure wouldn't try. I actually got to do a gear hydraulic leak test once with the plane sitting on the ground and the gear pinned. Got a bit nervous, plane started shaking. One of my stranger airline flights, attendant came to me while we were taxiing to the terminal and asked if I would go talk to the pilot (I worked for the airline) ... but that's kind of a long story.

Howdy Stan, GenghAl, Russ, Tim and Moldy. Moldy, I started to think legs in the air for the landing gear comment but glad you cleared that up for me.

She did get a thermostat and already youtubed how to replace so if I need to I can do that. So long as we don't brick another server I can find a free weekend/evening to do it.
