Does everybody have to be nice, or just, perhaps, the first few posters? I mean, can we lead you down the path at first, just to tear your heart out on page 2?
You know, you're VERY lucky that I was the first to stumble upon your question. Others may not have been as charitable.
Of course, I don't know the answer to your question. But if I did, I'd answer it like a gentleman.

BTM, what a STUPID and IDIOTIC question. I can't believe you would ask something like that you MORON. ...crawl back under a rock...dictionary...appaling grammar...etc etc.
Just kidding - and toughening you up in case you ever make it to Jet Blast.
Welcome to pprune
BTW, Sorry but I don't have an answer to your question either.

As they operate -500 series aircraft, really difficult to drag the tail on landing. but can be done.
OTOH, have seen the results of the action on...would you believe...takeoff, with the short body machine, and the El Capitan was ex-EAL. (original EAL, that is...)
Need I say more?

Onan JB these days is a tame place. There have been worse spats right here on R&N amongst the 'serious' folks.
Sorry B the M no news on the tailscrape, guess it just wasn't his lucky day.
BTW that was a very 'virginal' approach, the 'please be gentle' appeal was most fetching, now your toe is wet though expect the worst from the ruffians.

His approach was rather low to say the least , from where we where sitting looked like he only just made the tarmac with the tail - ooooops !!! the nose was very , very , VERY high ! reminds me of an incident with a caledonian machine a few years ago .......?

Air Luxor now using an Air Atlanta 767-300ER to operate some flights !
Aircraft positioned from DUB to the Azores yesterday, and then operated on to Providence.
Will return with same routing tonight.

I have video footage given to me of good old BEAL aka SE-DPM in AirOps hybrid colours of the old calli blue and airops on the tail doing a positioning flight to LTN. The dick thing at the back just missed it. It looked very close!
Good old OOE. What an operation that was with some true classics. Whats the fate of SE-DSD. A -100 think no 215 off the production. The best one I seem to remember.
Oh and then there was the base training in SE-DPP. One touch and go at LTN nearly ended up in Vauxhall's car park.

Hi Gordinho;
Could well be, mate. I know that they used to answer the phone as 'Aer Turas' when I used to deal with 'em, back in Summer '98.
Almost took a job there, too......
Well, looky looky; my 500th post........must order a personal title
