Passing PIK today I noticed the Delta 767 is still there and I am assuming it probably will be for a while. It got me thinking
if Prestwick hadn't been available - or a housing estate as some would like - what other options would the crew have had?
It overflew Glasgow and apparently needed almost the full length of Prestwick's runway before stopping.
A highly flammable fully fuelled aircraft - ditch in the Clyde perhaps?
