Folks,
At the risk of being ceremoniously hanged, drawn and quartered, can you please answer what seems to me to be a logical question?.
The a/c returned because part of the wheel mechanism fell off (or whatever).
Now as the a/c had to land anyway why not go on to its destination?
I don't wish to be contraversial, but why do aircraft always land at the first opportunity for even a 'small' item?
I can understand that there many reasons why you would want to land immediately but surely not every time?
You will obviously realise that I am not in the Aviation Industry but 'outsiders' like me have no way of understanding this practice...so please don't be too harsh!
