Incident: Canada A320 at Vancouver on Sep 16th 2018, rejected takeoff due to bird strike

That was my AC 15 inbound today here in HKG

i haven’t had time to post but it was very rough, we rolled hard right, possible that engine or wing tip scraped the runway

We hard bounced three times and I also wondered if the gear or tires or other also took a bit of a hit

Felt like wind shear or strong crosswinds just after we crossed over the water inbound to 7R

Quite the sight to watch it all out my window and feel it

(note to those here who are pilots or work at the airport...i am not an expert, just describing my experience)

Also captain came on after and apologized for the rough landing

As @InTheAirGuy noted, this is going to have an interesting ripple effect. I wonder how long this A/C will be out of service.

I don't imagine this is something that can be addressed with a quick coat of paint.

As I was taxiing out of HKG on an onward flight, I could see her outside one of the doors at the HAECO facility. Ladder near the tail and a light focused on the tail undercarriage area.

i heard that it is some serious damage, it may take a week to repair and no it won’t buff out.
