Thread: Jumbo jet on ebay

"97,861 Flight Hours" Probably due for a timing belt and possible head gasket!

Guess the question is ... how many other jets will all those crappy parts go into??

After all, they don't have 'air crash investigation' for nothing, now do they!!

Not the best outcome when you are taking customers on a demo flight

Been around the traps, but still a bloody bargain price for 270 tonnes of scrap esp since the going rate of Aluminium is around $2000 a tonne = $540 grand

DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT: substantial
In the early stages of its takeoff run the aircraft experiences an uncontained failure of its outer right engine #4 (GE CF6-50E2). The entire aft part of the engine which incorporates the high pressure and thrust reverser module seperates and fell to the ground where it caused unknown damage to the runway and the airport fence. The pilots successfully rejected the take-off. Post accident inspection showed debris damage to the underside of the right wing. At the time, the aircraft was operating on a positioning flight without passengers.
NOTE: the same aircraft (c/n 23056) was involved in a nearly similar occrence at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in July 2008.
