Swinging the Gear | F-4 Phantom

Had a really productive day at the Phantom! Starting working again on the shuttle valve in the aft canopy actuator, and we did gear swings to re-rig the right main gear door! Very successful, and not only does the gear open and close as it should, but the door is properly adjusted as well.

Also shared some insight on our safety process, which includes a safety brief before major procedures. Got to train our new guys on operating some of the equipment as well.
