CargoB Wing Tip Strike
 

Reports of a Cargo B B747-400 hitting a wing tip during taxi in Latacunga, Ecuador....

It happens.

What's your point?

It appears to simply be something new to read. Nothing wrong with that.

It makes a very refreshing change from the ad-nauseum Atlas/Polar shin-kicking contest :yuk::zzz:

Well, perhaps "747guru" could give us some factual details, instead of just a vague empty statement?

Factual Details as requested
 

Why so defensive all the time guys? I was merely passing on info.

I agree, "Latest News" may have been a better forum than "Freight Dogs" for this item.

Anyway, they say the camera never lies.....here is a photo....from an insider, I dont know?

Brand new out of the factory and they've only had it 2 minutes!! :sad:

(Assuming true of course)

??
 

is the a/c grounded?

dont be so negative boys,
Belgians used to go on strike,nowadys they just strike things, thats a steady improvement.
The building was afterall quite small, i would have overlooked it also.:bored:

At least it was a hangar and not another 747..

Striking comments...

of course the buildings grounded...;)
