Kalitta Tailstrike KEWR

[Classicdriver]

Just had a friend call and said he saw something on the news with a 747, red and gold, had a tailstrike on T/O out of KEWR and had to return. They mentioned major damage.

Sounded like Kalitta colors and I know they fly out of there a lot?

Nothing on Yahoo? Anyone?

Nah! I heard someone give a general direction where upon someone else piped up with something more useful and exact.

You mean like the link I provided to the exact page and the date to click on to find the report?

It really doesn't get more useful or exact than that.

The damage was minimal, in fact, twas able to make 10 revenue legs before it had to repaired for good. How do I know?? I flew it and saw the paperwork from Boeing. Was not a tail strike at all! More like FOD damage, and the details have really not been sorted out, so any speculation is way too premature!
