Lots of snow!
The clamshells are truly awesome to look at. Unfortunately they aren't practical for most of todays engines which either use doors or squeezers. (I think).

I think that the newer cessna jets (Citations, Mustangs) and maybe the ERJ's still use clamshell reversers, but the Crj's use cascade reversers and I've seen shops here around the south that offer to remove them. Don't know why.

I'm sure the instant after I stopped filming they raised the gear.
