    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.......

    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.
