We have discussed the cost of the airframe, how much is it to lease an engine per year?

this whole thing is pie in the sky…

Much emotion for Asquith today with 9H-GLOBL having undergone a series of runway tests. If it gets airborne on a test flight does that count as mission accomplished?

I rather liked Global's statement that:
As well as all protective devices being removed, the BCA and Hi Fly teams have refreshed all fluids on the aircraft, including hydraulics, oil, fuel and water. Additionally, every nook and cranny of the aircraft has been inspected
It's almost like nobody has ever performed basic maintenance before!

Not my original thought but probably rather more likely!

I would imagine that many bricks were excreted that day.
Wonder who'll crew Flight No1?

Are you sure that's not just a transmitter being 'taxied' by car ...??

Seems reasonably likely that it was airborne for two circuits.

200 kts on the downwind leg - I'd want to be in that car.

One of "their" planes got airborne? Even two circuits above the Mojave means I need to go and do something...

*yeuch*

Hats taste disgusting and are really hard to chew.

I hope they don't go and land one at Manston or something. Then I've got problems...

Seems a little unusual that nothing appears to be happening after the very short test flight. Going on the usual adage in the industry that if a plane is on the ground, it's not earning, I'm rather surprised that there wasn't another longer flight to A N Other location for final refurb.

Anybody heard anything?

I wonder how long the Snag List is?
Still not airworthy enough to try a flight of any distance or significance?

In the interests of balance and fairness (*), I was trying very hard not to suggest that possibility.
Time will no doubt tell

It’s an Airbus. Normally we just reset, switch it off and on again

Not in the business but I'd venture to think it is a bit more complex than that...
They mentioned replacing all the tires. What about hydraulics ?
