RE: Airliner's CG
Heard an interesting tale related on Saturday morning on one of my favourite radio programmes.
The show host had been given a trip to Scott Base and flew down in a C130. On arrival, the passengers were asked to remain seated; and again; thumping and banging on the cargo door; still came the call "Please remain seated".
They did; for four hours while they unstuck the rear door which had frozen up. They had to get the first two cargons out before the passengers could disembark. Otherwise the Herky would have sat on her tail.
