It looks like it's in position, but doesn't look like it's attached.
Now, what about the "RAT'S" ass (tail gun position)?

You just cannot see the nose keel and the clecos attached
under the nose.
The tail enclosure is in the process of being repaired
in Atlanta. Hey Tom! What's the tail enclosure's ETA?
