880 fires . I think thats blown out of context , most that read that think that fire has actually broken out in the airframe ,im afraid thats complete and utter bull**** reporting. 90% of that i guess is fumes in the cockpit which most of the time is down tot he air conditioning side throwing oily crap into the pressure shell. Also electrical burning which is common to all aircraft with many systems on board , if you look at the stats of the E3 i bet you will get the same.
Yet again publishing things to make it sound like a major problem , these things happen, its the nature of flying an aircraft packed with computers and wiggly amp things.
How many times at home have you smelled the tv or pc and thought mmmm thats not right many times im sure, but how many times can you say its went on fire ? not many i guess .So to say 880 fires onboard is complete and utter horse mince sorry i dont buy that one bit !!
