El avión tronó por la pista y se elevó hacia el cielo nocturno de Los Ángeles. Qué raro”, comentó el capitán Tim Barnby al ver que las ruedas tardaban más de lo habitual en retraerse. Revisó los instrumentos en busca de indicios de problemas. No los había: todas las ruedas estaban arriba y aseguradas.
Sin problemas aparentes, el vuelo 024 de Virgin Atlantic, con 98 pasajeros y 16 tripulantes, puso rumbo hacia el aeropuerto de Heathrow en Londres. No hubo incidentes y, once horas después, el Airbus 340 comenzó a descender. Con vientos de cola favorables, aterrizaría a las 15:05 horas del 5 de noviembre de 1997, antes de tiempo.
Graham y Janice Jones vieron cómo su hija Claire, de 23 años, sonreía por el pasillo, elegante en su uniforme de auxiliar de vuelo. Había invitado a sus padres a California y volaban de vuelta a casa. Papá” dijo Claire, el comandante quiere saber si te gustaría estar en la cabina durante el aterrizaje”.

Al bajar el tren de aterrizaje verá cuatro luces verdes en el panel de instrumentos que indican que las ruedas están abajo”.
