Collision: Condor's First Airbus A330neo Hits A Building In Toulouse France 13/12/22

[red750]

Earlier today, a brand new Condor A330neo suffered damage at Airbus facilities in Toulouse after colliding with a building.

Bit sensationalised. Showing a plane in flight. A TOWING Incident. Maybe the Planes wingspan is more that the tug driver was counting on. He might be on the line but IF it hadn't been surveyed, it's not much use.   Nev

It's in France, not Taswegia.  Nev

It's a wonder the building didn't repel it with that colour scheme. Yuck.

[facthunter]

Scares off the eagles and buzzards and you noticed it which shows it's effective.   Nev

Did the building explode and fall down?

Yeah lucky it wasn't red and white, I'd have no chance.

They paint aeroplanes in funny ways these days. Flambuoyant and disrespectful of the Machine. Nev

[MattP]

Agree, they're not clever either.  

 

I do like the retro liveries and would have loved to see the old t jet or chock block TAA livery on a 717 or the Australian blue green yellow on an a330 for the 100th but AJ's gotta get a bonus I guess. At least ba did some cool stuff with their 747s before scrapping them.

Luckily the plane is probably in the BEST place to repair it. ie WHERE it was built.  It's also not Condor's responsibility, I'd imagine.  Nev

[red750]

Green is not the only colour they plan to go with, apparently.

 

[facthunter]

The Boeing 717 is a stretched DC9 and TAA did theirs (DC9-20s) in the T livery If I recall correctly.  Nev

Well, at least the ID of any crashed Condor aircraft won't be open to dispute, with livery like that!

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would
If I could
I surely would

[facthunter]

I'd heard it as a hammer than a nail. Nev

[pmccarthy]

El Condor pasa

That’s verse two.

[onetrack]

With livery like that, it could pass for El Condor Pasta ...

Unfortunately not the first time the Froggies have ruined a new toy...
