Am I right in thinking the exotic materials used in the construction of “Stealthy” aircraft, Ram etc etc are very highly toxic when burnt?
Could be serious for the fire and rescue guys out there.
Hope everyone is OK

I don’t think the FAA will allow G- reg aircraft based and crewed in New York. Remember all the fuss about N registering the Concords ( spelling intentional) for the US domestic sector for Branniff? Open skies or not I dont think American law will allow foreign owned companies to operate on their turf. Note the trouble Virgin-USA has had with the federales.

IF the initial reports of double engine loss of power and loss of computer based instrumentation are proved correct, this could have huge repercussions for all ETOPS certified B777 operators worldwide.
Just my 2d.
Serious congratulations to all crew for safely landing and evacuating this aircraft. Bet the SLF on board that listened to the briefing are glad they did so now.

Can’t see it really, BA have never done small well.
Long drag BRU-JFK and CDG-JFK on a non ER 757-236, must be in a low
density high revenue configuration ala MaxJet, SilverJet, EOS style.
Have BA ever had ETOPS approval for 757 ops. Non of BA s 13 remaining
757-200s are ER versions. As it appears SilverJet are struggling even
with their route monopoly and dedicated luxury terminal at Luton. I
dread to think how much it will cost to bring two airframes up to
spec.
May be with cascaded 767ERs when the 787s come on line. Who is going
to pay premium rate fares for a 13 year old 757 ??

IIRC that the problem was the single shot fire extinguishers on all Allison turboprop engines. It stopped Air UK from having CV580 s years ago and caused no end of problems for Trans Meridians Herk plans. They eventually sorted something out when the Air Bridge Electras eventually got a UK C of A followed by Channel Express. ( Not sure what though)
Hope it helps
