China 747 engine story

It was just too much trouble to use. If I have some
particular picture I'm looking for or more likely, have a
picture that is worth sharing, it makes a good place to post
the picture. I'll still look but I just won't include it in
the daily Internet scan.

Take your political (anti-A380) crap to alt.politics. This
(alt.binaries.pictures.aviation) is a forum for posting beautiful pictures
of aircraft.

I swear, this is loonies coming-out-of-the-woodwork day, or something!

Can't a person complement one design of a plane, without it being
anti-something else?


I think the poster was a bit Euro-sensitive.

The following pictures prove the superior dispatchability
and survivability of the Boeing 747.

An Asian airline operator came into FRA (Frankfurt, Germany)
for an unscheduled refuelling stop. The reason became soon
apparent to the ground crew: The fan on the number 3 engine
didn't look so good. That had apparently been no problem for
the tough guys back in Asia: Get yourself some sturdy straps
and wrap them around fan blades and the structures behind,
thus stopping any windmilling and associated uncomfortable
vibration while in flight caused by the suboptimal fan. Off
you go into the wild blue yonder with another revenue-making
flight! If you get low on fuel, just set it down on at the
closest airport, FRA in this case.

But that's when the problem started: Those Germans are so
picky that they grounded the aircraft!

After that, the airline operator had to raise some money
(took about 10 days) to get the engine changed. The repair
contractor also decided to do some inspection work on the
other engines because none of them looked all that great
anymore. The result: A total of 3 engines were finally
changed on this airplane before it was allowed to fly again.


Hmmmmm

The pictures don't seem to still be on the server, but are
the three that I posted.



Here's the pics again.
