Dresden, Germany OMD140: Test flight A330-300PTF

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant Ex Thomas Cook?

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant That old girl looks rough, but if she passed inspection in Germany, I wouldn't be afraid to fly it. If she passed inspection in Africa, Russia, or South America, it would be a different story.

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant Who knew 😉

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant This old girl has seen better days during her Thomas Cook years. She will be as good as new soon.

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant Dresden is a great city. Did you stay near the Hilton with the church beside it. Some great restaurants and radaberger beer

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant How did they level the A330 nose down attitude on the ground?

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant That ex Thomas cook machine

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant I hope you had some time to see this beautiful city! I took my first steps as Turnaround Coordinator at DRS, the Speedbird2779 DRS-LGW way my first flight handled there back in 2008.

@CaptBob_Nomadic @CaptGrant Question: how are they keeping it level on the ground since the original 330s were sloping forward? Is the NLG longer? The original A330F has a goitre bump to keep it level.
