I thought you lowered the wheels?

Expensive mistake:D

[Stuart]

So how long do you leave that bandaid on for?

[coastie]

Till it heals or $10mill,whichever comes first.:D

If the RAAF had one the repair bill would be more than the Entire budget for a year.

There was a much more extensive post of pictures on Usenet. Unfortunately I have deleted the accompanying text, but I think it was $35 million US damage to the aircraft - the crew had been on an 11 hour ferry flight, landed wheels up, minor fire.......

[bennylaird]

Yes, had it all on the email but I deleted it as well, too big to post here.

Yep a few million dollars worth there. The RAAF's wasn't that expensive after it happened. Its cetain that the Jet will fly again.
