I thought the tail skid was supposed to stop this.

Are we lined up with the Jetway now?
 
Makes it easier to get the cargo to the rear of the plane, I tell ya' whut....
 
Their mistake was not loading the centrifuges up front seeing as they were not coming off in Qatar.
 
We're done simulating the soft field landing; you can let up on the yoke now.
 
"You idiot I said tail stand, not stand on the tail"

"Now pressurize the front strut to 90psi"
 
"Anybody here got any recent DC-3 time?"
 
That was the standard loading procedure for our C-207s in Alaska. The pilot would get in last to (hopefully) get the tail off the ground and once moving it stayed up....

I really miss flying that beast. Too bad they are rare and crazy expensive now. Too many idiots crashing them. I have pictures of that, too!
