I reiterate that UPS has not had a hull loss incident in 98 years. If the Philly event marks the first hull loss, then it will be the first hull loss for that company. Period.
No, I was saying the SA227 incident was described as a hull loss in the link I attached earlier, that's all, not the MD-11, which was the one repaired (assuming these reports are correct).
