I'm suprised they got it again. Their first attempt at bringing them to MEL was a disaster & ended up being over 24 hours late!!!

As Ratty says, price is the key to Bernies Empire too!

F1

MASKargo does have bunch of the F1 flights. Don't know if they have an exclusive contract. Most flights operated by Air Atlanta Icelandic as MASKargo does not have their own aircraft at the moment unless the -400F has arrived.

WOW hope that they leave it that colour - It'll be one for the anoraks around the world. I was told today that Tango is due back on the 15th of April. I just hope that the management don't fire anymore of us poor souls or we'll be well short

It seems to be a damage to the vertical stabilizer.
The damage is visible on the first picture as a dark spot near the leading edge,
halfway between the logo and the upper edge of the stab.
I just hope it is just a job of replacing the skin...

Yep, it was the vertical stab; I was initially mis-informed.

That plane is jinxed.

To those of you familiar with LUX.... Remember that SP that stood here rotting for a couple of years, the one we dismantled? I'm told the tail fin leading edge was salvaged & sent out to PVG last night to repair TCV. Part number is supposedly identical. Could that be? Thought the SP's tail was taller than the rest

your right-the sp vertical and horiz are 5ft longer but assuming its only the leading edge section they are replacing then maybe this is the same at this point in the leading edge.

SP tails are very much taller Ratty, but as posted above, you wouldn't need the whole thing!

(I always thought the SP's were cool! Nuggety little buggers! )

$ for the chinese

When is Tango back in business?

The maintenance-people in PVG seem to creat problem after problem. Maybe it's their businessidea?! For sure they must make some money by having a 744 they can work on around the clock?

At the same time CV's loosing a lot of money. It's a tuff world.
