So a plane which has withstood probably countless landings, had its nose gear collapse while sitting statically at a gate of all times and places? Weird. | ||||||||||||||||||||

There's a story that during the testing of a fighter plane - I think the F-35 but not sure - the "developers" claimed the new computer systems made most pilot errors all but impossible. QA engineer's first check was, what happens if I try and retract the wheels while the plane is sitting on the ground and not moving. Oops. | ||||||||||||||||||||

One post said that the plane was only 4 months old. | ||||||||||||||||||||
