I doubt that there has been an airline that hasn't had this type of incident. At mine it was a 757 into a hangar door. Start up enough airplanes facing a building and you will eventually hit a building. It's mathematical. |

What a horrible waste of a beautiful 757..... Does the company just write it off as a loss when an aircraft is damaged beyond repair and get money back at the end of the year? Matthew |

Its an MD-80 anyway. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I looked into this accident a while ago, like around when it happend. I believe it was kept for parts. Which would make sense to me instead of just chucking it in the desert. As far as repairing it, I'm no airframe technitian but it looks to me like there's way to much internal damage to fix than it would be worth. Tom |

| Re: Why you\'re not allowed to play in the cockpit!
Oh they prolly coulda fixed it these days you can do anything...but the question is would it have been cost effective? Prolly not...In any event scrapped/canabalized there all the same to me in that that plane will never see the skies again. Matthew |

| Re: Why you\'re not allowed to play in the cockpit!
Yeah thats what I was getting at with my post, was that it probly wasnt cost effective to fix it. There aren't any pics of the plane after the crash on airliners.net so I'm guessing I didnt fly again after that. Here, maybe if I post my avatar a bunch the other images will melt out of your head.

I'm fired, you cant fire me, I already quit. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Actually if you look closer at the pictures. She's smiling more in mine and her shoulders are leaned more. I just noticed the shoulders and then on a closer look noticed her smile was different. Tom |
