""When interviewed on BBC TV at the delivery ceremony of his first A340-600, Richard Branson stated that Virgin Atlantic operated only four engined aircraft because they don't have to divert to somewhere like Greenland as B777s have to do if they suffer an engine failure. ""

And he is right to. Those 777 blow blades like an old bloke losing his teeth over a prune pit !
Doesn't the time seem to go ever so long on one engine ? It does !

Beautifull aircraft this /600
