Front wheels are usually located under the pilots cockpit honestly I can not see them there :)

Indeed! You're right. It did look like it was still there, as they'll normally drop onto the nose with no wheels - quite a forward-slung engine on a 767, though..

Still showing off, though.

You can land without wheels, but it's much more difficult to take off without them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGtU_HWPIcc

Good effort! THAT is why airline pilots are paid so much!

Not so much these days actually

If you work for a budget airline that is, which is a little worrying

I would sooner have a 'well paid ' pilot than a disgruntled - I have just slept on someones sofa in a city I hate for a week - which happens now as pilots are required to replocate for half weeks at a time at short notice
