UA 767-300 N641UA structural damage after hard landing (has returned to service)
Looks like United is unexpectedly going to be short another 767. N641UA sustained a hard landing last night at IAH, and likely to be written off due to structural damage and cost of repair exceeding the economic value of a 32-year-old 763. Inspections will confirm later this week.
Somewhat reminiscent of the 757 at EWR in 2019 that bounced on landing and had to be scrapped on site.
