We flew it to Prestwick gear down, had that checked and it was swinging up and down like new. We then flew it to Dubai, tech stop & rest and continued the next day to Jakarta.
The old lady will stay there for a D check and we hope it'll fly sometime this summer. A spanish operator is interested in opening a few routes...to be seen.
The flight was great, with the snags you can expect from an A/C sitting so long on the ground but the more she flew, the better she was responding. In fact she's great to handlfy, almost no trim required. We had a look at the wing, ailerons aligned, flush wing, great
Sorry to take her away from your sight but she needed to fly again.
And thanks to the G/E who worked hard to get her back on line
Looks like an ACE call,
