Kea, I'm going to try to ask some LOT crew members, which I know, what problem was with that aircraft. I think, that it wasn't so serious problem, because yesterday I spotted SP-LPA during take off from Okęcie Airport.

I read that SP-LPA was flying from KRK to ORD on 6/26 and had to stop at GDN for more fuel. Can you inquire on that?

I guess that's the good thing of going from those old Soviet/Russian death tubes, to modern Western aircraft, if you can fly those hunks of crap you can fly anything!!!!! POLSKA GORA!!!!
Great poster!! I especially liked the decor (fancy curtains blocking out the sun) and the lascivious look on the guys face...After that champagne they might just pull out some curtains along the seats to get private.
Their normal flight path would take them north from Chicago cross Elliot Lake (CYEL). You have to wonder why they had a flight plan that took them through southern ontario. My guess is the flight plan was filed at a time when the storm front was north of Chicago; they usually leave between 5:00 and 7:00 pm; mostly prior to 6:00 pm CDT. This flight left at 7:55 pm CDT. At any rate, they got stuck having to go through a rather nasty bit of weather which may have caused the problem.
