Emirates

[Guest Glenn]

News from our "raving" reporter (Robbo) is that the Emirates aircraft involved in the tail strike has been repaired and painted and is sitting outside John Holland Melbourne.

I will double check to make sure its the same one tommorow, I was busy driving and only saw i glimpse of it and its the only EK jet on the John Holland tarmac and there was nothing in the hanger so I am guessing its the same one, daz seems to think it is but as i said i dident see the rego.

 

It was shiny at the skid though so im guessing its the same one.

I understand that the carbon fibre rear pressure bulkhead is badly damaged , so any repair would just be a bandaid job just to get the aircraft airborne and flyable at an unpressurised level .

I was to busy this morning and did not get a chance to get to the hangers, Daz is there for a week maybe he can double check.

I am quite sure the repair job was on the damaged machine as she still seems to be there now.
