Too long, too weak?
Is that a -600 I am guessing on that run? Not hard to do on those VS had a nice fat one a little while after beginning to fly theirs into KIAD and it put a really nice hole in the skin right beyond the skid plate.
Here are some pics:

Wonder if anyone else on-board had similar skidmarks
Doesn’t look as bad as they made it sound i.e., use of the word “slammed”.
That’ll buff right out…
LOTS of speed tape and she’s good as new
Looks like a skid mark.
I was reading some follow up on this over on a.net yesterday and it was saying that the investigation is looking into the weight the f/o keyed in for the a/c. They are saying he may have been off by a ton or so in one area…they did not say where. I am GUESSING TOW since that is what the v speeds are calculated by…correct?
