    Ugh, the dreaded seven engine approach again?

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    diverted 3rd while on a global power mission... USAFE statement wouldn't state if weapons were on board, which may explain the dreaded 7 engine diversion.

    If you mean nuclear, they aren't deployed in nuclear weapons roles any more. Officially at least.

    Does not have the capability to dump fuel so stayed a few hours holding.

    Sounds about right.

    Sell Baldonnell to the highest bidding housing developer and spend the money or a few jets. Move them west and help keep AFB Shannon alive and kicking.

    Comedy aside, probably not the worst solution.
