red750 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Earlier today, a brand new Condor A330neo suffered damage at Airbus facilities in Toulouse after colliding with a building. Read report here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 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.

MattP Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 It's a wonder the building didn't repel it with that colour scheme. Yuck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 They paint aeroplanes in funny ways these days. Flambuoyant and disrespectful of the Machine. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited December 16, 2022 by MattP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Green is not the only colour they plan to go with, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The Boeing 717 is a stretched DC9 and TAA did theirs (DC9-20s) in the T livery If I recall correctly. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
