Hail Damage

Post by CaptainEd »

I recieved a message with photo's showing hail damage to a 3 engined transport (DC-10?) that departed a Canadian airport. recived EXTENSIVE hail damage at FL 330, and returned.

How bad was it? Well, the FO and FE resigned.

I dont know to post this, but if you wish to see it, and perhaps post it, contact me captained@comcast.net and I will foreward it to you.

Ed,

I have received them, but I can't upload them as they are integrated in the e-mail. Can you send them again but in attachement?
