This incident happed a few months ago at GLH, after the aircraft was painted in the new livery and was to be ferried to IAH. While taxing out to the runway, the concrete collapsed under the left main gear, causing it to fold. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.

Completely Off topic - but here's an advantage of a pure white livery - just cover up the name, and the a/c is anonymous again _________________ We miss you Nalini! |

But most savvy fliers can figure out the airline thanks to that beige cheatline. Which threatens it's reputation even more! _________________ Yeah. |

Why should it threaten the airline's reputation? It is not united's fault if the airport authorities at Greenville don't maintain their concrete properly.
I can see a big lawsuit and damages claim coming up in this one. _________________ I don't know which is the more pampered bunch : AI's widebodies (the aunties) or Jet's widebodies (the planes).

Most Average onlookers don't look at it that way....They look at the situation & which airline is in it _________________ Think of the Brighter side !!! |
