Ed Force One Badly Damaged on the Ground in Chile
Ed Force One was this morning tethered to a tow truck to be taken for refueling prior to flying over the Andes to Cordoba for the next show. On moving the steering pin that is part of the mechanism that connects the ground tug to the aircraft seemingly fell out. On making a turn the aircraft had no steering and collided with the ground tug badly damaging the undercarriage, two of the aircraft's engines and injuring two ground tug operators, both of whom have been taken to hospital.

Someone probably swiped the steering pin to get drinking money at the recycling yard... :-)
heavy metals is not as heavy then .
This is one slick way to get new engines on a airplane out of warranty! Thank you, Captain Canopenier.
that should buff right out
Looks like they did not do an encore at the show. You gotta love those professional ground crews
It's just a flesh wound...
Big stupid mistake.
