@danielc365 Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about. The MD-80 is a very reliable airplane and has been flying safely for over 30 years. It has some of the highest flying times of any airplane and one of the best safety records in the history of airliners.

Well, the tail is overrated anyway...

Anybody see a guy fly out the back sitting on the crapper?

It appears to be major stress to the tail section of the fusealage and as we all know the weakest point of any commercial aircraft is the tail section and the MD-80 and 81 have the worst history behind them horrible aircraft im surprised they even made it this far in aviation i could just tell by looking at it its a trouble aircraft one of the most in aviation accidents.

Kinda makes you think what all those cumulative "minor hard" landings have done to the plane you're flying in...

The full NTSB report can be found here: libraryonline.erau.edu/online-
full-text/ntsb/aircraft-acci dent-reports/AAR82-02.pdf "The aircraft was on a certification test flight to determine the horizontal distance required to land and bring the aircraft to a full stop as required by 14 CFR 25.125 when the accident occurred."
"Seven crewmembers were on board; one crewmember, a flight test engineer, broke his left ankle when the aircraft touched down."

It was a textbook landing...extra points for making the fuselage "noodle" and for losing the tail. That pilot has bragging rights for ahwile.
