It might well be true, but, we get it every year
Even with the wing done...I thought they were out of spare engines?

It is sort of true, they have got some work being done on the wings, they sent out an email earlier this month.

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.
