Aircraft flies next sector after tailstrike

While visiting my maintanance hangar at Bratislava-Stefanik recently, I saw a rather forlorn Slovak Airlines 737 parked next to the hangar with a big scrape down the tail underside and two full holes in the fuselage that you could put your fist through.

It would appear that this tailstrike occured on landing a charter at Corfu. The crew then decided to return to Bratislava, with an aircraft full of tourists, fortunately with no adverse effects.

Good decision
