The above picture shows a Boeing 727 'jacked-up' for heavy maintenance on the landing gear.

That jacking is a very precise and delicate job often discussed between aviation techniciens.

My son, aviation engineer stunned fellow tecnicians saying: "We use auto-levitation" showing them the picture below.

Don't you just love how those 727 wings just come apart.  Boeing was VERY proud of those Fowler and leading edge flaps.  The big deal involved here is that the 727 with these wing mods brought jet travel to Washington National airport.
