Hey, ah, Zane, what's the story with the Airbus and the tricky articulating nacelle. It's one of your gallery photos. Is this some sort of new cooling duct? Are you allowed to disclose what airline it was?

Jeff,

Which photo are you referring to? If you ever want to reference a photo in a forum topic, follow the directions below. While I am the site administrator, I may not have been the one who uploaded the photo. This site is free for any and all who want to post topics, tell stories, and upload photos.

I was on a Northwest flight last month, and flew on a Avro RJ-85(is that right?) It was a high wing(with anhedral) 4 engine turbofan with those articulating nacelles you are talking about. I think they are part of the flap assembly, but at first i thought they were extra fuel tank.

To include a photo in a post:
Just navigate to the gallery page where you can view the medium sized version of the photo, then highlight and Copy the URL(text in the address bar), and paste it into your post.

You can get even more creative, and insert the photo right into your post. Right mouse click the photo and depending on your browser, do the following:

1) Internet Explorer: Right mouse click, select Properties, highlight the URL test, and CTRL+C to copy the URL.
2) Firefox: Right mouse click, select Copy Image Location

Then, in your post, paste the URL text in, highlight it, and click the [Img] button. When you view your submitted post, the image will appear embedded.

I think Jeff's talkin' about this one.



Looks like someone forgot to latch some access panels.

This one. Sorry I thought it was yours. Does anybody know the story behind this photo. Truth is only partly important.

The truth is I am concerned that I might work for the airline this happened on. Is that Nacelle blue or teal?

Look's teal to me. Don't think it's your's...on second thought...

You're right that is mine, i forgot i uploaded that when I was testing the gallery. As far as the airline, I dunno. I just found it a collection of "oops!" photos. Same place this one came from:
