When I was reviewing my Eclipse order I noticed that they offer skid
plates on the bottom of the plane. They right out admit that its to
reduce damage if I forget to put down the gear.

And it is only a 0.5 AMU option. I didn't know there was such a thing as a
$500 option on a jet. Hell, the Ice chest.... I mean Refreshment Center
costs $5,995.

They did, factory test pilots just after Oshkosh last year.


The Beechjet 400 also has a reinforced belly.

They were just testing the gear up ability. Since its an option, you
have to wonder what the downside is? 10 knot loss of cruise maybe?

100 pounds loss of payload.

Read the freakin' e-mail again. I said it was IN RESPONSE TO an e-mail
received about a bf110 recovery in Europe.

Jeez. Some people got nothing to say about the topic but they attack the
messenger anyway. I don't care if you were a B-1 instructor or Orville
freakin' Wright: Enjoy the link and/or STFU.

By the way--now don't freak out here, I know it's not a B-1-- a friend whom
I helped research an SB-17 wreck in northern Washington got an e-mail that
states:

We have found aircraft Bf Messerschmitt 110 in Black sea. Aircraft lays on
depth of 35 m. We plan to take out it from water in June 2007.

If you have interest to this aircraft, pls make offer. We have videofilm
25Mb.

1. I enjoyed the link
2. I think it's neat that BT is a retired B-1 Instructor.
3. I understand BT's putting 2+2 together ...considering:
