Default Cool B767 repair on tv

Found this show on tv. Can't recognize which airline, as they have the logo covered. The B767's pressure dome was damaged when the plane was pushed back into a blast fence. Talk about expensive!

Lots of respect for these mechanics/engineers..

That was a really interesting show, to see how they replaced the aft pressure dome. The airline is Air Seychelles it is the national airline of the Seychelles. And wow was that an expensive oops.

Ya, they said about $5 million worth! Ouch! I was a ramp rat about 20 years ago in college, and the one thing they told us was - "you dent a plane, you're fired". Now I know why.
