Interesting. I see what looks like fuel being loaded into the
aircraft. I wonder if they tried testing the EMP while the fuel was
being taken on.



You're an idiot.

Not a 747, but check this out:

The large communications company I work for has large P&W turbines &
multi-engine diesel power plants used for emergency power. They have
"day tanks" on the roofs of large buildings to feed the generators.
One of our buildings had the pump that transfers K1 kerosene, from the
8000 gallon tank under the parking lot to the 200 gallon "day tank" on
the 13 story high roof, wired to commercial power.

During the first genuine commercial power failure, there were people
carrying 5 gallon jugs up 12 1/2 stories of stairs to keep the
generators running. G

There's something green attached to the wing.

Fuel trucks don't attach themselves to wings.

Are you talking about the building behind the airplane associated
with the wire antenna system?

Maybe not on 747, but they do on some airplanes.

There would also be a small panel hanging down from the RH leading edge.
This give you access to the refueling panel At most airports you don't need
a big ass truck. The fuel lines run underground to where the aircraft is
parked at the terminal. A large pick up with a lift is used to run the fuel
line from the underground fuel head to the aircraft


In this case though there would be a big ass truck.

Ground hydraulic units use green hoses

But I've never seen one hooked up near the wing tip on a 747. Usually you
use the hydrualic servicing panel in the gear wheel well.

I think the USAF uses green AC/heater hoses. I believe they replaced
the yellow ones 20 years ago.

I'm talking about the flexible green conduit that appears to be connected to
the wing near its tip.
