NAT JET 717 mishap

Smells a bit inside though. Did I say a bit, I mean't a Lot.

Obviously haven't cleaned the seats yet...

See what I mean about experts!!!!!The carpets were removed after they got mouldy wihin a week,all the seats came out for cleaning & storage & access for the repairs.Any pressurised aircraft will go mouldy quickly in the tropics especially if there is nowhere under cover to store it with the cabin open,OZ

Chiropractic industry went through a sudden growth spurt back then too. Passengers were reported to be 3 inches shorter after disembarking.

These are cheap aircraft. No one is going to bother fixing them.

Just an opinion.

One would like to think so, but Qantas has never written off an aircraft (or so they say to the world) and I guess they will keep it that way. So they will rebuild, even if they start with just a data plate..

Hey Furyfan, take a chill pill and calm down with a ride in your Fury. We're just having a bit of fun. It is called National Joke, is it not?

While you're making repairs from that "landing", could you find your way to the other NX_'s and make the light covers more resistant to the other interesting landings they get
Spine manipulation not required after being donged on the head by a light cover (passengers are becoming more adept at refitting them now)

Cheap aircraft indeed!! What a joke

I'm with you on that one CW,but thats how we guage the severity of the landing-note if the fluoro covers are down.No matter how hard we push for replacement parts,unless a pax is injured its a low priority,OZ
