An interesting bit of trivia

N275WA had suffered 2 tail strikes, most importantly the one in Montevdeo in oct of 1997 as it was on landing, the other one was in 1994 on T/O out of ANCa ferry flight with the clg retracted and #2 engine inop.

I believe the 1997 flight to be pre "FCC program that drives the stab AND during landing". A buddy of mne was in this accident. Poor girl has had a rough go, but she had not killed anyone yet.
