Virgin Atlantic getting ready to belly land a 744 at LGW

The last crash landing like this, a guy at work wondered aloud if the plane would be scrapped. We laughed and laughed. Seeing how insurance will pay to rebuild a mutilated car if it saves them a nickel, no jumbo jet is getting put out to pasture so soon.

Meh, actually they are scrapping 744s a t a pretty good clip, usually when the C check is due, as it costs millions. If this plane is old enough she'll be scrapped. I am pretty sure the BA one they clipped the wing on in JNB got canned.

They actually scrapped the CX bird I took to HKG in 2012 a month after I flew on it.
