    Yet Another Air France A380 Break Down Tonight

    Air France Flight 7, normally operated by an A380 on Sundays, is being flown on a 777 tonight.

    The A380 which arrived yesterday is ferrying back to CDG right now as Flight 7A.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Are you sure the aircraft broke down, Matt? I think it's possible that the aircraft is operating an additional AF7 to take the passengers from yesterdays canceled flight, meanwhile a 77W was subbed to operate AF6/7 today since F-HPJB was operating to JNB. I believe F-HPJA made it back to JFK from BOS sometime today.

    Apparently the Emirates 777-300ER that diverted to BOS yesterday broke down on one of the taxiways as she was being tugged.

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Where's the fun in not bashing the A380? :) Just kidding, you may be right, sir.

    The reason I suspected this is that Flight 7A was used as a ferry the last time they had a breakdown a few weeks ago.
