And it's very likely that the plane would have been grounded for some
repairs.
Best regards, and Happy New Year to all of you!

The nearest maintenance facility from Port Washington where the plane landed
is a long way away - so a strike would have been very inconvenient for both man
and bird. :-(
Thanks for the comment.
