#662What are the metal things around the nosewheel and the main landing gear. It also looks like it's on only one main landing gear. Do all MD-80's have these?
Thank you
Neil

#677I think there are there to keep water/snow from splashing all over the fuselage (see the openings in the back) and to also keep devris from hitting the fuselage. The main wheels hav something similar.
