It might well be true, but, we get it every year :doh:

Even with the wing done...I thought they were out of spare engines?Image

I can belive that but there is no more engines so they can't be saying it's OK for another year or as the next big problem...that's it.

They have 4 engines to fly with but they have been swapping in and out older engines for all ground tests and runs, to extend the life. I think I also heard they have a new zero hours unit but need to check, will get back on that if so.
