If you could find out exactly where (maybe it was a military aircraft)…

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 31-05-02 AT 03:37 PM (GMT)]It is currently sitting on the ramp at Gib with a very bent fuselage as It appears the unfortuate pilot made a less than smoth arrival and put several sizable wrinkles and ripples plus two 8 inch tears in the fuzalage. Boeing flew in from Seattle to look at it. Reckon they can fix it but the price may exceed the hull value.

Saw a picture of it,it was in the new c/s,what a waste of money as its got to be touched up again!

RE: Info required

yeah it was one of the first few off the line in the Early 80’s -will get more precise info on the later

RE: Info required

I would imagine monc would be a high cycle aircraft.Maybe wind would have played a part.Possible nosewheel touched down first.
