It's real and it happened in SSI about 3 weeks ago. The GAC folks called the recovery folks out of KC. Then the folks from BQK came over and replaced the wheels, tires, brakes and gear door.
The aircraft was departing to the west coast and had a bit of fuel on it. The airport authority is going to wind picking up the tab on this one.
The aircraft was only out of service for 3 or 4 days.
