Belgian A330 damaged by technicians

This Dutch article says that the Belgian Aiforce A330 was damaged at the tail during push back in the hangar for a paint job.

Let the jokes come about the Belgian army...

Volgens persagentschap Belga waren het technici van Lufthansa Technik die het toestel naar een hangar brachten om nieuwe bestickering aan te brengen. In het artikel, te lezen op bovenstaande link, zegt men dat de militaire activiteiten geen gevaar lopen, volgens Belga dan weer wel. Ook op bovenstaande link is te zien dat iemand de A330 zag opstijgen, die beweert dus dat het foute berichtgeving is. Feit is dat er een contradictie aanwezig is tussen beide artikels.

Los hiervan: nam Lufthansa Technik ook het onderhoud voor de twee A310's voor zich?

Ah these techies! They keep on breaking things! Why are they ever allowed near such delicate machinery?

Yes Jan,

Good thing that there're pilots around to fix it all!!

That's what they call jobprotection.

damage report?

damage report?

Belga says: "tail heavily damaged".
It seems that the damaged Airbus A330 is a back-up plane leased from Hi Fly.
The "original" A330 is still in service.
Hi Fly is now supposed to put another a/c at the disposal of the Belgian Air Force.

So If I understand correct, HiFly has currently 2 A330's stationed at BRU for the BAF? Seems a bit strange...

But it is, CS-TFZ came in last Sunday morning, then the unfortunate accident happened later that day.

So if that aircraft is staying in BRU, it seems that the rumors were correct that BAF is planning to operate 2 A330's... It's a near brandnew plane with the first flight less then one year ago (24 March '09).
