Talk about the high cost of aviation!

a bunch snipped from here....

If it was a Falcon 20, there is a mandatory set of inspections on the
gear and the wing attach area and spar for any impact outboard a
certain wing station. We had one of ours hit hard enough to damage the
aileron, and it spun the aircraft about 5 degrees. Total cost was in
excess of 275,000$, and we lost the use of the aircraft for nearly
three weeks. And yes, that was our direct costs, as we were a Falcon
repair station and able to handle everything but the x-ray work.
