Didn't help that a wheel fell off a Boeing 757 plane this weekend as it
Nortazhokie • 01/24/24 10:37 AM ET
That's a pretty old airplane, last production was nearly 20 years ago...

Aer Lingus is cheap and good

CrystalCoveHokie • 01/24/24 10:34 AM ET
Sounds like Boeing doesn’t know alot about it either. **
