‘The crew of an Egypt Air Express Embraer ERJ-170, flight MS-363 from Sharm el Sheikh to Luxor (Egypt) with 62 people on board, reported nose gear trouble after takeoff from Sharm el Sheikh and decided to divert to Cairo International Airport, where the airplane landed safely with just one nose wheel, while the second nose wheel was missing.’

And you’d have lost your car wheels in the process! 😀

If it had been at Liverpool I’d be checking the car boot sales in Toxteth.

Good to see that this happens with more aircraft types than the ATR42:eek: Lost a left nosewheel once. Not nice, could have ended in disaster. We were just plane lucky:eek:
