    Look at his visor how low it is dropped down. Maybe result of wing strike maybe not. Could be contributory to accident maybe not. I see guys with their visor down so far they can't see a traffic light any closer than 50 yards.

    I believe this Kalitta Air ( yep, THAT Kalitta of drag racing fame) has like 80 747 cargo planes and hauls everything, including horses, I'm sure.

    Easier to do than you think. Especially when the wing is eye-level, it's fairly thin out at the tip. Add in the fact that most tarmacs are very dark surrounded by lots of bright light sources, it would be very easy to miss an eye-level wingtip.
     
    86scotty and Bud A. Thank this.

    DHL does all types of transport also. Horses, Formula I cars and their whole shop and crews, etc. They've hauled elephants, zebras, etc. from Africa to the USA.
