Sounds like Murphy is alive and well............if it can be fitted incorrectly, it will be!
The best Flight Safety poster I ever saw read "MUPHRY'S LAW"
Quite clever really........

www.bordermail.com.au/news/bm/national/340401.htmlTake-off all clear for F-111s AUSTRALIA’S F-111 fleet has been cleared to fly again after one of the jets lost a wheel during take-off, forcing a dramatic emergency landing. The Defence Department yesterday said the fleet could resume flying as soon as checks of individual planes were complete. The F-111s were temporarily grounded last Tuesday after one of the jets was forced to make an emergency landing at the RAAF Amberley Base, west of Brisbane.

Dept of Defence photos of A8-143 being removed from the runway last week. She doesn't appear to be that badly damaged either?   |

No, it belongs to some house moving mob. The Army have a number of similar rigs that they haul the Leopard Tanks (and other heavy stuff) around the country on, so I was surprised they didn't get them in to help out. But on seconds thoughts, the Army would have probably broken something like an F-111 as it's probably not as robust as a tank!  |

Yeah, Tyvek overalls, dust maks and flouro vests were certainly the fashion of the day - but where's the Stop/Go sign man! :-)
