A visitor from - posted Sat June 28, 2008: Viewing this photo is like sitting inside the front wheel area. The mass of wires and tubes, etc really make this a striking photo with the shot of the runway and front wheel in the middle of the photo. |
A visitor from Kenya posted Mon May 19, 2008: The orangy stuff is a corrosion protection fluid which sticks to the aircraft structure and prevents water ingress. it is called lps3.wheel wells are not always that clean by the way |
A visitor from United States posted Thu May 15, 2008: There you go! That's a first!
But, are you a stow-away? |
A visitor from Egypt posted Wed May 14, 2008: Is it just me or are those wires over-exposed to weather conditions?....won't those get affected by time?

A visitor from Japan posted Sat May 10, 2008: Unique perspective! We have all seen landing gear wheel wells, but the 737 does not have MLG doors. In this photo you can see the rubber seal that acts as a fairing between the tire and the airframe |

A visitor from Canada posted Fri May 9, 2008: This photo shows the complexity of the machine usually hided from the outside world! Wonderfull!!
For the United kingdom visitor, the orangy stuff on the walls of the well might be a coating applied for rust prevention, such as Dinitrol. |
A visitor from Canada posted Fri May 9, 2008: Very unique shot!
And in response to the UK visitor, i would think thats De-ice fluid (Type I) |
A visitor from Germany posted Fri May 9, 2008: For all those who are wondering... You stand upright on the tarmac, you upper half is in the wheel well, you turn towards the other gear, lift the camera a bit and ... klick! |

What's that orangy stuff on the walls of the well? Hydraulic? Deicing liquid? Dirt? |
