With all these so called trashed airplanes I'm not aware of any that have sustained a loss of control due to control surface damage.

The worst that I can recall were about 3 incidents with interior damage to engines from trying to process the hail at low power.

I would also think that replacing the leading edge surfaces/radomes and windscreens would be the appropriate repair along with dent removal to the upside surfaces if it was a ground incident.

So has there really been any scrap-out of underage big airplanes for this or were they already beyond their economic life?
