This aircraft overran Quito's runway on November 9, 2007 with no injuries or death. It took a few days to move the aircraft to the Air Force platform where it was inspected to see if it could fly again or not. Months later, it was said the plane could fly again with new wings, engines and landing gear. Iberia preferred to write the plane off and get a new one from its insurance company. The plane was later scrapped. This photo is copyright © Sandro Rota, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
