What's Wrong With This Picture ?

10 July 2010: The Refueling Station in the right forward inter-tank access area of CH-47F Chinook helicopter 07-08730. Note the improperly installed fuel line running from the Right Forward Auxiliary Fuel Tank as it blocks the top attaching bolt on the landing gear. In this condition - instead of the bend in the line facing upwards - the aircraft would have to be defueled and the line removed in order to remove the landing gear. The aircraft was delivered from Boeing in this configuration and not caught until the ferry crew moved the aircraft from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to Fort Drum, New York. At this point the aircraft had accumulated 68 flight hours. Click-N-Go Here to view a larger image.
