Photographer’s remark

N926NA After performing an impressive fly-by, the WB-57F came in to land and while taxiing, the front gear locked and it wouldn't move. The pilot would apply thrust to taxi the plane and it wouldn't move, a special tow truck and bar had to be sent to the runway and this plane was towed out the runway, this caused delays for about half and hour and was a pain for the aicraft waiting to land and depart, this was mayhem!
