Ah, yes. ZK-AMS. Had the honour of spending an extremely nostalgic hour or so in the right-hand seat of the elegant lady a couple of years back. The left-seater on that particular flight wasn't even born when she was built. I must say he treated her in a befitting manner, IMHO.
She handled well then and I have no reason to expect that she has changed in any way. The folk responsible for her operation in Christchurch were very proud of her and told the world so at every opportunity.
Surprised to learn of her "accident" and trust that the powers that be see fit to restore her right to venture into the realm for which she was built. May it be sooner rather than later.
Now THAT is seat-of-the-pants flying...
