Hope no one is/was injured. Hearing that the hydraulics weren't on.

Hoser
Roll Tide!

DING DING DING! Yes, you are correct sir.

700 looks to be history!

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Brings to mind the 700 that was in LIT or OKC??? not too long ago that jumped the chocks.

If HYD weren't on, maybe MX needs to start using checklists. I've taken airplanes from them where switches were left in incorrect positions, and watched them trouble shoot aircraft by pushing buttons off of memory.

 

[Metro752]

OMG not pushing buttons......

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Yes, pushing buttons.

We were down three aircraft there this morning. Had to deadhead out of there and got a look at the scene through binoculars from the gate on the other side of the field.

Tore an engine off ship 706, and wiped out ship 975, with some supposedly "repairable" damage to another 50, At least one aircraft was totalled.

Looked like a 007 movie set. Apparently they were "drying out" an engine after blade washing, and it took the maintenance guy for one helluva ride into the hangar where he played a wonderful game of airplane pinball!

That's what we heard anyway, could be some embellishment on this story, but it looked bad.

I know they are talking of reducing fleet size somewhat, but such measures are a bit drastic!

Actually, the Flow Board shows 706EV going into scheduled MX at 0258Z, with a scheduled return date of today at 1145Z. The actual return date now shows 08/31/2008 at 2300Z. I wonder if that's the plane??? Hhhmmmmmmmm.......

Same deal on two 50's... 916EV and 975EV
