Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....
Any word on the fleet type? I would imagine the 330-200 or the 767-200ER. The 330-300 wouldnt have the legs for that tripand if it did it would be on a highly weight restricted basis. The 300 is a bit short legged and the engines US took on the 300 fleet are a derated version.

Rome isn't that far, shouldn't be a problem for the -300.
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
