So that was the problem for my DELAY!! :diablo: :diablo: 😡 😀
Well I was on GSM to PMI that day. We sat at the gate for 40 minutes, waiting to see if we could actually get going! Eventually we pushed and entered runway 23 from Delta and backtracked. I saw the Emirates and the ground crew unloading the pax and food, but never realised it got stuck!
Anyway there ye go!

Thanks for the photos. 😉

It was sitting on about stand 5ish when I passed this morning at 08:00ish.

Apparently they freed her around 2200 last night and she left empty today around 1600. Presumably they were happy with the state of the gear… ?

Great shots, I don’t suppose the fact the grass was soaking wet would have helped either ? Any idea when they hope to pull her out ?
