Kinda tore it up but makes a good case to stay out of the wx. He shouldn't have been out there without the radar anyway.
That wasn't hail - it was a boulder or he kissed the wall
I hope they called Ace Ventura to taxi that plane into the ramp..........open up the side window, stick your head out, and Let's Go!
Don't think that would have worked real well at 18000ft.
Dang...!
Like to see what the front end of the motors looked like.
