NEW ORLEANS - The Dallas Cowboys' charter flight to Miami made an unscheduled stop for repairs in New Orleans on Saturday.

 

``We had a hydraulic problem on our plane. We got it fixed,'' team spokesman Rich Dalrymple said.

 

The Boeing 757 landed shortly before 3 p.m. and left about 5:45 p.m., airport spokeswoman Michelle Duffourc said.

 

``Some of the guys got off the plane but a lot of them stayed on,'' Dalrymple said.

 

Another plane was sent from Dallas-Fort Worth to New Orleans to pick up the team, American Airlines spokesman John Hotard said.

 

But Dalrymple said it turned out not to be needed.

 

The Cowboys play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

You'd think this would have happened on the way to New England.

:D I was expecting a different response from an airline mechanic on a thread like this.

 

The hydraulic and electric systems are very redundant, you usually don't see diversions unless there is a loss of redundancy which the checklist probably calls out for them to land at the nearest suitable airport. I doubt there was any danger, non-normal procedure checklists err on the side off caution...

+1, if we didnt hear and more specific info on this id be willing to bet it was an indication problem...I mean the pilots probably knew they had enough Fluid in the resivoir...but if the gauge say its empty you get it changed. I work on single engine airplanes so its more of a risk when things "break" but these commercial airplanes have triple and quadruple redundant systems. Sh!t really has to hit the fan for a plane to crash.

 

...but that being said glad it was able to land without incident
