Yep, lost each engine driven gen (L and R) and the Aux Power Unit generator


at least twice each, either individually or with another resulting various levels of load shedding. Fortunately not all 3 at once. We also have 2 smaller, low output standby gens, and a ram air turbine (provides back up hydraulics too). The approved procedures only allow 1 reset of a gen per flight. I used my emergency authority to reset some gens more than once. We lost huge chucks of the electrical system when we landed too. The fix was a replacing a bad control unit.

I would have liked to gone to Keflavik, I need to check on the kids, they would be about 29 by now. 😉👍🏻
