Default 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.

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

Since the left the door was left open with just "aircraft", I'll submit the XB-70 YOWZAA!

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.
