So what do you do if your plane hasn't been flown for over 10 years and it needs a few repairs?
Well, it's obvious isn't it? - You fly it to the repair shop and they'll fix it for you there.

That's as near a crash as I've ever seen. Amazing that they got it down.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh! How frightening that would be. Imagine being on that plane thinking your time was up! Doesn't bear thinking about.
