I often find myself reading the fatal accident reports on the CAA website (you can learn a lot from others mistakes) but I found this one to be a goodun

almost disappointed it didn't crash with all those MP's on board :P

It is believed the replacement aircraft was delayed by negotiations with the Civil Aviation Authority over whether it was allowed to land at Ohakea.

bueraucracy strikes again! though Boeing won't be too impressed to see an Airbus bail them out of strife.
