Remarks: Pretty sure this is the first visit to YEG for this unique aircraft. Last I saw this one was at the Namaio Air Show 1994. Flew in from Iceland this morning at 3:30am to unload cargo. What a RUSH seeing this thing up close!
Remarks: American 55 cancels its first takeoff attempt and returns to a T3 gate using a turnoff from 23R. It later departed after attention and returned quickly as a full "Mayday" with hydraulic failure. The runway 23R at Manchester was then blocked as the aircraft blew a number of tyres on landing, closing the airport and causing massive disruption.
