When planes are mounted like that, what's done to safely mount them, what's taken out (engines, etc), what checks are run on them, etc?

Passengers, crew and luggage are removed.

Crew always take the booze and snacks when they go.

I don't think that will buff out

Manx registration for the Gulfstream now oddly appropriate.

A roll of speed tape should take care of that.

Thought you might all like this one, the underside of a Spectre C-130.

Notice how different the prototype looks compared to the later development and production aircraft.

They are, in effect, virtually two different designs.

Prototype -

are those some sort of winglet on the Concorde ?
I can see the canards on the Tu144

As I understand it from an excellent thread about Concorde on Pprune they are vortex generators for low speed lift and rudder authority at high angles of attack for take off and landing.

I always do my backpack helicopter test flights next to overhead lines. I also wear a safety blazer and generously fitting turned up slacks just in case.
