I pushed a tail stand into the trailing edge of a horizontal stab. on a DC-10. That cost about $5000. Luckily we did a really nice patch job on it, mostly some composite.

Another inch farther and we would have multiplied that by about 4x.

Airplane damage can add up quick. $5000 is a drop in the bucket.

Thats the truth... I'm still thinking about the orange clean on the fuselage of a strike fighter.

Scraped the quarter panel on my truck up against one of the yellow conrete poles next to an overhead door in the plant where I used to work. Quality wanted to use my truck cause it was fairly new and they were testing some new seats with the customer to try and troubleshoot a quality issue. Company paid for repairs luckily. I felt like a total Homer. DOHHH.

I didn't cause these but we crashed 2 jets in the last six months. Bad enough to ground the F-15 fleet, cost about 60 Million.
