ATL - NRT still being delayed by 5 hours, 5 days in a row now. Todays flight not leaving till 1715 hours. Whatever is wrong with the aircraft must be pretty serious. I mean, even an engine change doesn't take 5 days. Was it in an accident of some sort? The 747 thats OOS appears to be N661US. Its last flight was 5 days ago on NRT - ATL.
