UPS MD-11 tailstrike
 
Seems that two MD-11 management pilots had an MD-11 tailstrike in SDF on 10/14. They are TH and MH

The report shows that it happened during an autoland. It will be interesting to see what the data recorders show on this one.

think TH should stick to writing threatening letters to his scab squad then flying MD11.

Only 200 MD-11s built and 13 accidents. Wonder what other aircraft has this good (:D) of a record.

Among airliners the Concorde has the highest accident rate, followed by the 707 and DC-8.

You can't blame the Valkyrie for another plane running into it.
