Hailstorm Damage

[Capt Doufos]

Found an interesting site, seems to have all airline accident reports. Interesting reading.

I cannot believe the damage to this plane caused by a hail storm. Must have been a fun flight.

Only look through the reports if you are a confident flyier. The info in there is enough to put anyone off.

Nasty I note that the turbine blades managed to survive fairly well

Obviously made of somthing alot tuffer than Aluminium, they must be a composite of some description.

Theres some pics of that DHL A-300 that took a SA-7 on takeoff from Baghdad last year. I suppose flying cargo is a thankless enough task without the customers firing SAM's at you

The pilots did a great job of getting it back on the ground in one piece.
