Incident: UPS B747-8F at Taipei on Aug 13th 2025, engine pod strike on landing. 📹 by @jal_kana
From Aviation Hearld: A UPS United Parcel Service Boeing 747-8 freighter, registration N613UP performing flight 5X61 from Hong Kong to Taipei was on its third approach to Taipei‘s runway 05L in gusting winds at 20:08L (12:08Z), when the right hand wing lowered after touchdown causing the engine #4 (outboard right) nacelle to contact the ground briefly. The aircraft rolled out without further incident and taxied to the apron. Engine #4 received damage to its nacelle.
I`m thrilled to share my amazing B747-400(BDSF) Special Freighter journey! This is the kind of experience I live for!
As I reflect on my journey, I realize how much my love for aviation has grown. Watching how the crew operate in all hours and conditions has inspired me a lot.
I`m excited to resume my flight training this fall and maybe, just maybe, flying the 747 right seat will become a reality! ✈️
