VTM - I guess it you're optically challenged yourself ... 'mate'?
Take another look and read my comment properly this time before telling me to take another look at the pics.
V1OOPS said a few posts back -
Notice the words 'doubt ... write-off' and 'relatively superficial' and a few other carefully chosen qualifiers.
And before you put any more words in my post than the ones I typed, I never mentioned it would be a cheap fix either ... 'mate'.
Thanks for your inattention.

Even with cheap B737s parked in deserts I doubt this'd be a 'write-off' with relatively superficial leading surface damage - engines excepted.

V1oops,
You probably are pilot with no idea what damage this aircraft has taken! Before YOU comment on this site, I suggest you know what you are talking about mate, I know what I am about I do this for a living!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The repair bill for this aircraft will be around the 2 mill:
6 slats, 2 x engine inlets, horizontal stab leading edges, vertical stab leading edges,all cockpit windows,repairs to leading edge inboard of pylon ( formed skin), possible damage to skin to area around cockpit outside SRM limits, all flight control surfaces,including ailerons, spoiler panels, elevator and rudder.
A B737-300 in need of a D check is around AUSD 7.5Mill.
Any further comments !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VTM -
Thanks for the invitation to never post before checking with you first but before I take your advice ...
Which fits my initial remarks nicely - not cheap, but not a write off unless there's a B737 bargain in a desert somewhere. I'm not sure what you're on about - did you read my first post?
Your To-Do list simply comfirmed my comments. You're right though - you're way out of my league and I shall refrain from posting my silly opinions here in future.
BTW - your ! key needs a bit of WD40.

Good Lord!
Surely someone's gotta lose their job over that one... That's insane!
How can you not see that coming either out the window or on the wxr radar?
Hey NAP, if you're reading, lucky yours wasn't this bad...dunno how that prop would've handled it. (!)

Airframe question: How much worse (if at all) would the wing & horizontal stabiliser leading edge damage have to be before there was a serious risk of the skin peeling back (or whatever words you would use to describe it)?

djhob,
The skins on the leading edges of the slats, horizontal and vertical stabilizer are fairly secure and doubt whether they would peel or tear, the damage to the wing fixed leading edge between the pylon and fuselage is a concern, not so much as to the structural side of things but more to interruption to airflow.
Cheers,
VTM
