Wow; 2 KAL engine pod contact incidents and some real funny videos on the B777 kangaroo landings at NRT. Looks like NRT will be a place to avoid for the Koreans. I heard they had a B777 heavy tail strike not too long ago too.
Coming back to the earlier engine pod strike, was that a B777 or B747? From an earlier post it seem that it was an expat, not a loca...can anyone confirm that. If it's an expat then the expats too had their fair share of boo boos too. I heard that one expat was summarily sacked after some botched non precision approach at ZSSS leading to near CFIT, another was sacked after loss of radio comm in China, and another after line check failure from an expat checker. A friend told me that these were only a few of the boo boos by expats; there were many others too. These, if true at all, certainly put paid to the notion that the expats are any better than the locals. Small wonder Mr/Mrs/Ms haejangkok and admiral shin make much of the riff raff thingy!
