Bullet hole found in LATAM Boeing 767 at Sao Paolo

Share

During a maintenance inspection last week on a LATAM Boeing 767 at São Paolo airport a bullet hole was found in the left hand leading edge flap, after further inspection the bullet could be retreived. Apparently the bullet did not compromise the safety of the flight (Avherald.com).

According to police sources there was a shooting in a favela underneath the glide path during the time of the approach between Police and drug dealers. That could explain the bullet.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
