TC Airtanker - G-VYGM

Moogles Smith · 17 Aug 17, 12:25 PM

I was just checking todays Thomas Cook MT2604 flight from MAN-MCO at midday and noticed it isn't the airtanker flying out but a A332 Thomas Cook plane reg G-CHTZ.

It doesn't look like G-VYGM has flown since the 14th.

Does anyone know why that would be?

Ignore, flight radar has just updated and changed it's mind and it is in fact the airtanker G-VYGM currently taxing on the runway, bizarre.

Interesting. I know it went out of service for a short time. Somone recently reported that they were due to fly back on G-VYGM but when they boarded it was a regular TC plane with seatback IFE.

As long as my seat reservations were loosely maintained and there was no delay, I'd be more than happy to be switched!

The aircraft recently had a main landing gear removal/replacement.

Oh ok, maybe that's why it was out for a few days then.
