A 5 gee pull in a 747 is impressive indeed, even if it did cause the loss of nearly half of the HS and elevator surface.
Most if not all of the damage to the horizontal tail was not due to aerodynamic forces. The landing gear uplocks failed and the gear deployed through the landing gear doors during the pullout - the debris from the gear doors is what damaged the tail.
Vilas, my memory is the same as westhawk - it returned to service. According to Wiki:
After repairs were made to the plane, it returned to service on April 25, 1985. It continued in service for nearly 12 years until it was leased to China Airlines' sister company,
Mandarin Airlines, on January 1, 1997, and was in daily service for the remainder of that year.
[citation needed] Mandarin then sent it to
McCarran International Airport for storage.
[citation needed] From April 2002 it was owned and operated by a religious organization known as Gospel to the Unreached Millions (GUM), headed by
K. A. Paul, and was christened '
Global Peace One'. On July 17, 2005 the
FAA suspended its operating certificate due to insufficient maintenance.
[citation needed] As of May 20, 2010
[update], the aircraft is kept in a large hangar at
General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport in
Tijuana,
Baja California, and is reported to be in very poor condition.
