VS 44 Canx yesterday

Due in this morning, says Canx? Any ideas, plane was Tinkerbell!

It went tech and requires a new engine.

Ouch, a whole new engine. That's no small operation.

With 747's in such cases, airlines can actually attach a 5th spare engine under one of the wings to transport it, so today's outbound VS43 744 flight may well have 5 engines!!

I've seen a Qantas 744 with 5 engines once

Good luck with that one! With G-VROY reputations with technical issues and operating on the Vegas route today as VS43!

Thats not good when she has only been back from major overhaul a week!" Hope VS get it all fixed under warranty!

Or, I read on a similar cancellation for engine failure they flew home empty on three engines.

BIG just took off from LAS on a positioning flight, presumably with repairs completed!
