"Dale" wrote in message news:me- Again, no "over center" lock. Yes, you can retract the gear on the ground. On the B-17 I flew there was a "weight on wheels" switch to prevent this but this was an add-on and might not be on all B-17s flying today. The B-17 I was most recently involved with didn't have such a switch and the engineer gave us specific warning not to bump the landing gear switch, ever. (The master had to be on, but for safety we always assumed it was.) -c
