Two months old. Why bother.
Reminds me of a great ole British made movie called No Highway in the Sky ©1950's featuring Jimmy Stewart. Jimmy is not a pilot in this one but an introverted aeronautical engineer trying to prove a point about a new plane....wont give the rest away. Lots of famous actors and actresses in it. Overall, some really great acting and dialog (some plane in the sky scenes kind of cheesy). but wonderful in B/W. WATCH IT!
Ah, yes... The oh-so-beautiful 'Reindeer'!
By the way though, it is a B-787-8. There is no such thing as a B-787-800.... :)
wow expense of repair is just tip of cost imagine this bird out of commission not making revenue for couple of months
Very interesting that this happened so soon after an almost identical incident of nose gear collapse at a different airlines? Don't people read the news and learn something?
