Oh well, that's one less jet to dispose of in the coming years. Glad they've both been picked up. :)

At least both crewmen got out safely. Wonder if the government will make a profit on the insurance rather than paying for scrapping ;D ;D ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
