F-HPJD is back in CDG.
Coincidentally this same aircraft, F-HPJD, sustained damage to its tail cone last November
while at CDG, due to wing tip contact by a taxiing AF A330.
If what is stated
here is correct, "It had to stop a few meters from its parking stand as there was a problem with a truck blocking its access."
(Does anything about that scenario sound at all familiar?)
Photos of damage can be found
here, and a short article on the collision
here.
There are other ways of doing things than you do them in the USA. Sometimes they are better, believe it or not.
Perhaps not always....
