Considering the age of the airframe, I would agree although Air Europe suffered similar damage to one of its 757s at Madeira and it was repaired by Boeing in about 6 weeks and returned to service. I saw it there a few days after the incident and the damage looked just like this recent one. That was in about 1989?
