I live in Las Vegas, and frequently drive by the airport on the south side, and see the BA 777 still sitting over in the freight area. I asked here on FA about any updates to its status, and apparently I missed an article in the LVRJ about what its costing BA to park what looks to be a "hull loss". The article stated that BA has to pay $375/day to park the aircraft where it is, and the article also mentioned that term "hull loss".. If they are required to scrap the aircraft, I hope they'll be able to at least pull the good engine and everything out of the cockpit.. It will be interesting to see what is done with the rest of the plane, if its totalled...
Maybe they could take a flaperon and float it in the Indian ocean with a tracking device and see if they can mimic the route of the one that came ashore on Reunion Is.
