West Star Performing Major FOD Repair on G200
The company is replacing the aircraft's skin.

West Star Aviation’s Chattanooga, Tenn. facility is performing a major foreign object damage (FOD) repair on a Gulfstream G200. The Atlanta-based aircraft sustained damage when the fuselage was struck above the window line on the left side between the fourth and fifth windows, leaving a crease in the skin. After an initial attempt to cold-work the crease, West Star will replace the entire skin using factory drawings and Gulfstream engineering support.
