Bent A/C

Coastrider, you'd better believe they bent a 1900 on a hard landing. I've seen the photos of the a/c in the hangar. They landed it so hard that the tail posn light shattered. There's a ripple in the alumin skin all the way around the nose just behind the nose gear, and rippling and popped rivits around the wing roots on both sides. I think it was A6-FCA, and i'd be surprised if it ever flies again. Good job by all consurned when you consider Falcon just spent approx $260 000 USD fitting T2CAS, EGPWS, and new paint. It just goes to show you pay peanuts, you get..............!!!!
