737 flapless at ncl?
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has heard about a Helios 737 trying multiple times to land with t/e flaps u/s? Problem allegedly occured on approach to newcastle from cyprus on fri or sat gone.Local press reported that he circled the area for a while to burn off fuel and between 6 and 7 attempts were then made to get it down in one piece.A full emergency evacuation then took place.I can confirm that the a/c's return flight was definately delayed for 2.5 days while they fixed the prob as the local news was filled with irritable pax sitting in hotel lounges.
Basically just wondered if anyone had any juicy details about the actual events.Is 6-7 attempts poetic license on behalf of the press?
Cheers
