I need a patch kit for a 737. Yeah, that's some duct tape and a shit load of
bond-o.A Continental flight headed from Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport to West Palm Beach was temporarily delayed this evening when the wing of the moving aircraft smashed into an adjacent parked plane that already had unloaded its passengers.
"The airplane that was moving backed up and the right wing came into contact with the stabilizer" of the stationary plane, said Continental spokesman David Messing. The stabilizer is the horizontal surface of the plane's tail.
The damaged airplanes, both Boeing 737s, are going to require repairs, Messing said.
I guess the rear-view mirror was optional.
