About the engine under the wing, thats going to a delayed jet that needs her engine replaced. and the engine is under the wing for ease of removal and transport to the other aircraft that blew the engine.

We lost an engine on take off out of BKK, Dumped fuel and did a Hurried mealservice then a landing back at BKK. the aircraft waited 4days for her replacement to turn up. then some engine testing and back on the route.

Heres a air rage pic, Grin
