Remarks: Unusual angle of this shot...but it gives a perfect view of the gear in the retracting sequence. I had never given it a thought until I noticed it in this picture: the nose landing gear retracts and swivels 90 degrees because of the limited space due to the position of the jet intake in the nose of the aircraft!
