        Wow... Is this the time for rough landings in London?

        I can't tell for sure if that went as far as a tailstrike or not...

        Looks rather painful in any situation...

          Apparently, there was a strike, and this is the aircraft being floated off:

          Swiss International Air Lines and its insurers have decided to repair the BAe Systems Avro RJ100 which was heavily damaged in a hard landing incident at London City Airport last month, Flight International reports. An airline spokesman told the aviation news organisation: 'The final decision has been taken to repair it.'

          The aircraft is a 7 year old RJ100 registered HB-IYU and owned by Zurich-based Anson Aircraft. As previously reported, it was operating from Geneva with 93 passengers and crew when it made the hard landing on 18 August. It suffered a tail scrape, cracks and severe damage during the landing.

            Nah, the one that was floated away was wearing the Star Alliance livery from what I heard.

              Oops - you are correct... In any case, it seems that Swiss is having a hard time at LCY with this one...

              In any case, the pictures of the bottom of the Star Alliance liveried aircraft are rather interesting themselves...
