This US Airways Airbus A330 diverted here 21 years ago on 29 January 2003. We resolved their issues and they were underway after a couple of hours. #linemaintenance_yqx #usairways #airbusa330

It’s never good when you have snow drifts on your airplane. This 777 diverted here 13 years ago on 29 January 2011 for a medical emergency. The weather deteriorated but after several hours playing the waiting game they were underway once again. #linemaintenance_yqx #boeing777

Twenty years ago today this UPS 747-100 stopped in for a quick visit. N676UP taxied in at 03:15L, took on some fuel and had some maintenance checks and taxied out at 04:44L. #queenoftheskies #upsairlines

#otd 1982 the 757 took flight for the very first time. This 757-300 is seen at Gander 22 years later and exactly 20 years ago today. We did an ETOPS PDC and refuelling and out in 56 minutes. This airplane now flies for United and just landed in SFO #linemaintenance_yqx #boeing757

On this date in 2015, this Boeing 757 made a quick fuel stop. It was parked for just 38-minutes! This airplane is still in the United fleet but with a much more elaborate livery. #linemaintenance_yqx #boeing757200

Twenty years ago today this beautiful ATA Lockheed L-1011 pops in for a short visit. It’s easy to see she has borrowed her sister’s rudder. A tiny bit of smoke on startup but nothing compared to what you would see on a cold day. #linemaintenance_yqx #americantransairl1011

This picture is taken from the door of an Evergreen 747 on June 20th 2011. We’re having a fun day with a #5 main deck fire indication in flight. It took a couple of hours to troubleshoot and resolve but then they were on their way. #cyqx #boeing747200 #evergreeninternational

This gorgeous ATA Boeing 757-300 was only a couple of years old when this photo was taken. Twenty one years ago today on March 1, 2004, N559TZ operating as AMT4186 stops in for a splash of fuel and an ETOPS pre-departure check. #cyqx #linemaintenance_yqx #AmericanTransAir
