Shanghai, 25 January 2006 - A ground handling occurrence happened at Shanghai Pudong airport on Wednesday 25 January 2006. A Cargolux aircraft Boeing B747-400F was damaged, when the nose gear retracted while the aircraft was being serviced on the ground. This happened at 0705 local time, while the handling agent was preparing the flight. The damage was mainly to the lower front area of the aircraft and needs to be further inspected.

Innuendo Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Wonder if the damage extends to the inboard engines? They look as if they may have made contact. That could really up the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hey Mitch. Did you see the 767 that suffered a similar fate a few years back? How long was that one out of commission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yessir... About 3 weeks I think... give or take...?.... Certainly needed something a little more than "some inspection". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
