737F VH-XML serious problem
Hear from Avalon that XML has serious Bulkhead cracking which has involved Boeing to try to sort out. Understand that rest of AAE 737F fleet may be subject to same inspection in an upcoming AD which could ground them
With one of the last two 727's leaving the fleet next week or so AAE could well have a capacity problem
pity as the old 727 workhorse is built like a tank !!!

Yeah..I agree '727ace',
I flew the -15 version for Australian Airlines, and then the -17R version for Kuwait Airways, 'bout 3,000 hours worth!
Really great memories of a really great aircraft!
Cheers..FD

Is that the Fwd/Aft pressure bulkhead? Working for Qf Engineering back in the late 90s, I remember some major inspections/mods to the fwd pressure bulkhead on the 737-300/400 due to cracks.
