Airplane damaged by hail

Ever wonder what a hail storm will do to an airplane? This Boeing 727-200 cargo plane was en route from Calgary to Minneapolis on the evening of 10 August 2006 when it encountered severe weather, including thunderstorms and large hail. Half of the landing lights were damaged. Although the damage to the plane looks pretty severe, it landed safely and is back in service after just one month of repair. Nobody was hurt in this incident. More pictures after the jump.
