Holy Hail Damage!

Easyjet 737 HB-III departed Aug,15 at 09:50 from Geneva, and flew 10 minutes later into a Thunderstorm.

They returned to Geneva for an emergency landing.
Joey - you SURE you want to be a pilot?

WOW

If that was a Air Force plane the front would be gone their radomes are made out of composite and wouldn't last long in hail like that. I've never seen damage that bad I have seen a plane that landed in the desert and the bottom and stuff looked sand blaseted.

Ack, hope your car was under cover. I had my Z28 for 3 days in Boise when I was stuck in traffic during hail, not quite that big tho, and the car was completely hammered. I pulled into a gas station and hid there with other people until it was over, but it took some serious work to fix it all. Not fun... Tho it was better off than the guy on the motorcycle without a helmet in front of me. He rode up on the sidewalk in a hurry and hid in the same gas station, but he was pretty beat up in the minute or so he was out in the open...

That one missed my area, but I was caught in one a while back that did 2K of damage to my car. It looked like a golf ball on the outside but my gas mileage did not improve one bit
