A visitor from Canada posted Fri February 6, 2009:
Wouldn't they be wanting to lift the rear of the plane? The front is already in the air...

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon November 19, 2007:
During a 747 hydraulics systemcheck even without safetypins installed, only the nosegear will retract not the maingear, the weight of the plane and the friction of the tyres will prevent this.

A visitor from United States posted Tue December 27, 2005:
On picture 907988 by Alex Esguerra, he states that "Rumor has it this was the result of an hydraulic system check and that pins had not been installed in the gear." That would definitely be a reason for the unique parking angle of this bird.

It looks similar with Korean Air's MD-11F in Sydney few years ago....

Looks like a giant caught fish...
