Jetblue A321 Engine Fire in SJU

I wish I could agree about 'aircraft right' and 'aircraft left.' It's correct.

But think from a 'panicked' passenger's prospective. Try 'Your left,' and they might get it right, uhhh correct.

Is that a 321 NEO, are they out already?

Negative, according to this report the first A321 NEO's are suppose to arrive in 2018.

In addition, JetBlue has placed an order for 20 A321neo aircraft for delivery beginning in 2018. Fuel savings associated with the new engine option A320 family is forecast to be approximately 12 to 15 percent compared to the current engine option A320 family.

Now all they need is some fancy new A330's! :

I thought it was a NEO because of the Shaklets. I didn't know that you could order and install them to current planes, and new orders. I figured that they were only going to be used on NEO's.

Reminds me of when a Four Star DC-3 caught fire and burned the cockpit clean off in SJU about 6 years ago. Good times. Good times.
