Flying this flight tomorrow night... Looks like another 752 bites the dust 😢😢
Been to PDL before- the winds can get quite gusty.

I had a rough takeoff....well, attempted takeoff last week on AA. 😳
120 knots to zero on aborted takeoff just now!

Ship 5643 will be repaired by Flightstar at Jacksonville-Cecil Field under the guise of the FAA/Boeing/Delta. Boeing engineers have developed a repair manifest that will be carried out by Flightstar. The commitment to return the ETOPS equipped 75H to service should reiterate Delta's commitment to continue flying the 757-200 fleet well into the next decade. And given the 199 seat configuration, the aircraft is more profitable than under earlier seating schemes with DL and NW.

Perhaps fabrication equipment, metal, and spare parts?

A lot of really big jack stands (at least that is what they looked like). Lots of other stuff too of course. I saw pictures on an MSP airport spotter FaceBook group. So they are probably elsewhere on the internet as well.
