I could care less about the sparks.

However I along with 1000's of other professional pilots are waiting with much anticipation for your explanation of what a hose fork is.

Don't let these people get to you TD, I know you meant to say tongs.

OK then, what the heck is a nose fork?

Thanks for the reminder FNFAL, I'm going golfing if the wx clears.

What would you call it, nose gear assembly scissors fork magnesium alloy strut?

I mistakenly thought that for the sake of bevity, nose fork(strut) would suffice.

Dangerkitty,

While the Airbus and most large aircraft don't have a nose fork, small single engine aircraft often do. The fork extends around a single wheel on a nosewheel assy, providing support from both sides, and the axle runs through the fork. If someone's experience is only with small aircraft, reference to the nose assy as a nosegear fork is probably natural.

We can't all start out flying 747's and Airbuses, now can we Dangerkitty?

Dude, calm down. I have never heard that term before and didn't know what in the heck it was.

I am just a pilot. Technical names frighten me.
