Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Kanehoshi, VP-BPX is still there ? Must be VERY serious in that case... Btw, she is not the only one having trouble: Incident: Transaero B742 at Punta Cana on Mar 4th 2011, bird strike. A Transaero Airlines Boeing 747-200, registration VP-BQC performing flight UN-576 (scheduled departure Mar 3rd) from Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) to Moscow Sheremetyevo (Russia) with 339 passengers, ingested a bird into one of its engines (RB211) while climbing out of Punta Cana.

Hi Sandeep, SQ186/185 flights arrive abt. 1900LT therefore we can't shoot them approaching. I have some night shots of SQ185 at ramp, I'll search for the 9V-SRG. In the meantime please content with the 9V-SRI Star Alliance which arrived twice (SQ172, SQ185) on Sunday 6 March. So.....VP-BPX still at SGN with engine-problems ? VP-BPX got a flame-out engine #3 which forced an abort take-off hence 08 tires deflated. The long delay could be caused by certification of repair before permission to fly?
