It certainly was mate. Thankfully the passengers were put on other flights via Heathrow. On the second attempt from Edinburgh there were 11 crew. I hope so too. Cheers mate.
This is largely due to United (before the merge) basically cheapens their maintenance cost to a minimum, the company I work for is a major maintenance supplier for pre-merge Continental, and start receiving pre-merge UA airframe since the merge, the quality of their aircraft between two company is night and day. With the UA aircraft one can clearly understand how did pre-merge UA managed to run their company to the ground.
I wonder why they have so many problems with the planes. I thought the 767 and the 747 were very reliable aircraft. I’ve flown on both types of aircraft many times. They have both been flying for decades. Maintenance issues? You were in the right place at the right time to shoot this. Great job!!
waooo!! a very nice smooth touchdown landing
It certainly was. Great pilot skills
Smooth landing, wow!!
Very smooth
Beautiful video, lucky to have seen this :)
Cheers mate, certainly was :)
Very well captured! Glad it turned out ok.
Much appreciated , same here.
Well caught Jon! Cracking day with lots if nice surprises, liked.
Cheers Harry. It certainly was, we were very lucky to catch what we did :)
That's a really interesting catch, definitely not a fun time for the pilots or passengers! Hope you're able to get Wow Air soon.

Interesting catch Jonathan. Great job, well done!
Thanks very much Mylos. Appreciate it.
Awesome catch Jon, very lucky!
Thanks very much Will, absolutely.
Great video mate! A great (but not quite as good replacement) for the WOW Air. Glad it worked out fine
Thanks very much. Well , possibly. Although the Wow Air will be in alot more than any United B763 haha.
Nice Video Jonathan. Cheers for the great day.
Cheers Dan, it was a great day definitely.
Very interesting! United's old 767's cause many problems for them along with the 747's.
Thank'you. Thats true, still the next generation of 787s etc bring their own problems too.

Alot of reasons why. They are reliable but they are always subject to issues. I was thanks.
Awesome catch mate! Liked :)

Cool! Why did it have to make an emergency landing
Due to a fuel issue.

It was indeed.
