Good Afternoon Gentlemen.

My Dad Lives on Short Finals for 03R at JNB FAOR.
He just informed me about a possible situation with CPA 748 Scheduled from JNB - HKG

Im attaching a screenshot. It took off fr4om 3L and Circled about 6 times to return to JNB 03R.

Apparently 3L was closed for a while.

Our contact at ATC is not in today. Anyone have any info?

Thanks

A B744, operated by Cathay Pacific suffered a bird strike at OR Tambo International on March 9, 2014. Birds were ingested by engines 3 and 4 during take-off from runway 03L. The crew dumped fuel and performed a successful emergency landing.
