Hi PJay, thanks for your comment. Yes, it is a gravel deflector attachment behind the nose wheel and it's in place to prevent the gravel kicked up by the nose wheel from entering the engines.

As well, if you look closely at the engines themselves, there are little rods called vortex dissipators which prevent debris getting sucked into the engine as well.

They're really neat to see in operation on northern gravel strips, will definitely post some photos when I get up there.

But how do you feel about the 737?

I'm leaving on Sunday and won't be posting anything until I get back 2 weeks later...
