Tail striking a 100 airplanes would be mind boggling hard imho. BTW, looking through avhearld I noticed we have a few of our own and 767s and 744s around the globe like to drag their tails.
But this was the only UCAL 739 strike listed going back to 09, maybe they had more when the jets were new in the early 2000s...
Incident: United B739 at Chicago on Mar 1st 2013, tail strike on landing
