What question would that be? One for MH to gripe about Boeing or how about something due to storage or who made the windshields? DUH
- The article raises questions about 2 similar aircraft that had windshields crack during flight. Both were 777-200s operated by American Airlines.
Look into recent airframe activity. Both were affected by windshield cracks during their first long-haul flight after withdrawal from 6 months storage. N778AN and N762AN had been stored at KBFM Mobile Alabama since March 2020. Both were ferried to DFW in mid-September, then immediately dispatched from DFW to Madrid and Paris respectively.
Both experienced windshield cracks at altitude, requiring diversion
