But had to change their pants.

I remember reading that it occurred at London City Airport. I think that plane still sits there.

The incident occurred in August 2007. The insurance company decided to repair it, and it was removed on a barge for repairs off-site a few weeks later.

Let's hope that we don't see BA's A318 doing that there...

I wonder if she was repainted into Star Alliance c/s strategically...

[Matt Molnar]

She was in Star Alliance livery at the time of the accident as well.

[PhilDernerJr]

If the damage photos are any indication, it was painted in star Alliance colors when it happened.

The slow is helpful in seeing the aft strike, which I hadn't before noticed, as well as the aircraft being on both front and right main gear after the 3rd bounce. Lucky they didn't crash.

I dunno, it looks like the tail in the video is very red, not black. Unless I'm going insane...

I was confused about that at first, but it seems one side is painted in the airline colors, the other is the Star Alliance logo.

Ah, I get it. I thought maybe it was a shadow on the vertical stab after he landed.

[PhilDernerJr]

On the barge to go get fixed, I assume they didn't partially paint it before the repair.

Looks like a carrier landing.
