Scotty from Flight Ops.

Richmond, yesterday, according to the rumour mill.

I’d like to see the other side.

on edit...saw something on Sky News' website with vidoe. The story claims there is a damaged engine. No steering, no brakes?

1 new radome please

Is this on long term wet-lease, seeing as it is N registered, or is that because certifying locally would be expensive? I presume the winglets were added at the time of the tanker conversion.

Bet ya couldn’t hit the side of a hangar at 30 feet...

hold my beer..,

but seriously, ......

Was this an ex-South West a/c? I've seen photos of their -300's with winglets.

And some speed tape to go

Nah covid, runny nose, had to wipe it?

My wild guess: Parked with no chocks and no park brake set.

Add a breeze ...

Yes, it was originally Southwest's N608SW.

No, it was fitted with winglets by Southwest in 2009. Flew with SW till 2017, picked up by Coulson in 2018.

Simply flying has actual photos of the damage

(my edit) I intentionally didn't add the photo because wanted people to go look and read the artical for the original posting organisation

Maybe you should cut and paste the complete article rather than expect everyone to follow your link? A bane of Moderator’s lives is having to follow links, often to subscriber sites, which eat up unnecessary time.

Your assistance to do this would make PPRuNers lives easier all round.

Any Australian operator wanting to operate a high capacity jet on fire fighting operations would be a masochist to even consider trying to convert an Australian registered aircraft and obtaining an Australian AOC for that type of operation. Have you ever noticed the number of Australian based Executive and Special Purpose aircraft, based and operating in Australia, which are not registered in Australia?

RVSM may need re-certifying!

Is there a difference between a Boeing radome and an Airbus radome?

The airbus damage would have gone all the way back to the windshields.

You can add replacement of pitot tubes (a bit bent) and some engine nacelle panel beating. I hope the engine mounts aren't damaged.

Why do Sky News etc employ people who think aircraft are kept in hangers ?
