Still remember the SQ tailstrike a/c's registration. 9V-SMT
Scrape My Tail

The SQ's tailstrike incident could have turned out more disastrous as the a/c took off 30 knots below its actual take off speed and the stickshaker activated just seconds after it took off. It almost stalled a few metres above the runway ! And I do remember that the pilots had no idea that they had a tail strike until the fire services informed them after they landed.
