Awesome: Passenger fixes the airplane he’s flying on

Here’s a can-do tale of awesome from the BBC: Passenger fixes faulty airliner:

Passengers on Thomas Cook flight TCX9641 from Menorca were told to expect an eight-hour wait while an engineer was flown out from the UK.

One passenger then identified himself as a qualified aircraft engineer and offered to try to remedy the fault.

He was successful, and the plane landed in Glasgow only 35 minutes late.
