Mozzy19 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Don't quite understand why the Italians see fit to put FOD covers on, when airlines around the world using a similar airframe do without them quite happily... Nice photos by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear13583 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 In Scotland it's quite common as it keeps the chippy wrappers oot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Nice photos. Re FOD covers in Scotland, to prevent nesting Haggis, or stray golf balls maybe? Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzy19 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I suppose it may protect them from stray whiskey bottles form the uni across the water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice photos by the way. Maybe because airliners don't spend hours at remote dispersals ??? The utilisation rate of a civil airliner is probably ten times that of a military tanker/transport.

Maybe because airliners don't spend hours at remote dispersals ??? The utilisation rate of a civil airliner is probably ten times that of a military tanker/transport. Ken I wouldn't call Leuchars remote, but I see your point about the usage of the tankers. I just thought the covers looked strange on it. But then again the Americans use them on KC 135's so I guess it's not unusual at all.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
