—”Allegedly supersonic and 5G’s in the dive recovery”

Just WOW!

“The aircraft was significantly damaged by the excessive G-forces. The wings were permanently bent upwards by 2 inches (5 cm), the inboard main landing gear lost two actuator doors, and the two inboard main gear struts were left dangling.[1][4] Most affected was the tail, where large outer parts of the horizontal stabilizer had been ripped off...”

“After repairs were made to the plane, it returned to service on 25 April 1985. It continued in service for nearly 12 years until it was leased to China Airlines’ sister company, Mandarin Airlines, on 1 January 1997, and was in daily service for the remainder of that year....”
