Uh oh.

Reminds me of that South African 737 that hit a catering truck with its left winglet. Glad to know everyone on board was okay and the jet will survive.

I guess Mr. 777 was jealous of Mrs. 380 getting all of the attention.

<a.net> It was actually an A330. A 777 came to relieve it. That same flight diverted to Norfolk because of weather a week ago or so. </a.net>

Wasn't one of the sticking points about the 767 vs. A330 tanker deal about ramp space?

Too bad Boeing may be cost-overruning itself out of any profit on the KC-46 deal.

Actually the news is wrong they weren't parking on a Gate in GSP. They were on the FedEx Ramp and struck a light pole turning around. As you can see in the wide shot the pole in the middle is missing.
