It was a different aircraft the following evening.

As we got moving under our own power on the first attempt, does it count for an entry in my log?

The irony is that the first aircraft was one of the three remaining 744s on which I have not flown. I suppose my other question is whether I can now cross it off that list because I now have what counts as a "flight" - but I expect that that may be a matter of philosophical controversy.
