Well he definitely hit the approach lights....so that is at least where part of the damage came from, whether he drug the runway later I guess the rest of the investigation will tell in due time.

What's FOB? Looks like the tail struck sod or dirt not concrete.

If the repairs equal a couple 100,000 dollars worth of damage which I doubt then we're good. I believe the damage is much higher coming from my A&P/IA experience.

That's what I have experienced also.
