July 2002: A view inside the wheel well for the right aft landing gear. It houses the power steering module that drives the right aft gear so the aircrew can four wheel taxi a Chinook in a manner similar to driving an automobile. The power steering module is the item that has the long shiny, steel colored shaft protruding from a hydraulic actuator.

July 2002: A view inside the wheel well for the left aft landing gear. The long vertical shiny, steel colored shaft in the center of the image is one of two ramp actuators that powers up the ramp using hydraulic pressure. The ramp lowers via gravity and is not powered down.

July 2002: A closer view inside the wheel well for the left aft landing gear. The long cylinder extending upwards to the top of the well is the aft landing gear strut. It absorbs the shock of the landing up to the design limit of the actuator during landings to reduce the impact imparted to the fuselage and rotor system.

July 2002: A view of the underside of the ramp as it rests on the ground. It is normal for the ramp to be in contact with the ground once the aircraft is shutdown. Should the ramp contact the ground during flight operations, severe damage may be done to the structure of the aircraft.

July 2002: A view of the aft cargo hook and lower rescue door. Flight Engineers often place distinctive markings on thier aircraft. Here the lower rescue door has the Skull and Bones painted on it making it an easily recognizable aircraft when it comes in to pick up a sling load.
