Definition of bent
Thanks Creampuff, you have cited one more than I did, still far from "plenty" I suggest. I operated the A-E & H models and aircraft being "bent" in flying operations was a very rare event. As for heavy landing incidents causing damage, the one you cited is the only one of which I am aware. My definition of "bending an aircraft" is to have caused damage by mis-handling or exceeding operating limits, in the context of this discussion.
