Re: JFK hit and run
One of my FJ Instructors did a Starfighter exchange in Italy. Stories you would not believe. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Hit and Run at JFK
According to several sources, an Alitalia plane taxiing at JFK collided with a parked Air France plane, damaging both.
It then flew to Rome, where the wingtip was repaired.
The radio transcripts of the event are a king sized embarrassment to the FAA and ATC at JFK. Or they should be.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.

Re: JFK hit and run
Incredible. Continuing without even an inspection it seems. The captain should be charged with endangering the lives of everyone on board.
