A320 May Fly Out Of Field - AVweb

The Aviation Herald is reporting that Ural Airlines appears to be getting ready to fly an A320 out of a Russian field where it landed a week ago. The publication, citing local observers, said the aircraft has been jacked out of the ruts it dug in the soft ground, the engines serviced and covered and all the emergency slides stowed. The story included a photo of the buttoned-up airplane, saying it was taken on Sept. 17. The Herald said the airline announced Sept. 17 that the aircraft will fly again "soon" but didn't give a timeline. Presumably the takeoff will have to wait until the ground has firmed up, perhaps with colder fall temperatures.
