I'm extremely embarrassed to report that ATI's DC-8-72F is laid up in the Ukraine for a little while undergoing some undercarriage repair.

I'm afraid I have no idea how it happened, other than I must have landed cock-eyed and put too much weight on one side of the undercarriage. The landing 'felt' okay, but then sagged to the right. The result is evident.

Parts are being flown in from Boeing along with engineers. She'll be back in the air soonest.
