Looks like the #1 TR didn't deploy properly. That and the auto-aperture on that video camera doesn't work...  Great videos Harerton, thanks for the link. |

darn Cool Videos! Thanks a bunch Harerton!
These guys are busy at work on a great plane..you can see these guys love their job and it shows. I had a laugh seeing they were wearing t-shirts. Why not! casual and comfortable in hot weather..I wish I could have flown like that back in my AF days. {LOL!}
The engine sound in the background is quite familiar to me. Identical to the engine sounds aboard the C-141B.. only thing that's different is the hydraulics sounds with that one.
Thanks for posting these videos!!
John

Pretty good videos. Unlike newer aircraft, the thrust reversers sometimes do not deploy all at once. That's usually because of slop in the cable and mechanical links. I've flown more than one flight with all of us in our skivvys. I can assure you that it was quite an ugly sight!!!! John

John, I'm aware that they don't always deploy, but I never saw the #1's transit light stop flashing, indicating that it never deployed at all.
If you think not having a thrust reverser deploy is a pucker-factor multiplier, try flying jumpseat on a fully loaded CV-240 and having one of the props not want to flip over into reverse and you're 2/3 of the way down the 6000' runway when it finally does and still doing over close to 50 knots.
