It is currently parked up on T'way alpha between J and K holding points. I saw it up close on the northern hardstand this morning before it was towed and the damage is very noticeable.

Any word on the repairs or a fly home date at all?

Driving past on the way to work the last few days, I've seen the aircraft inside the Northernmost hanger, with just the tail poking out, but this morning, it was now parked outside the hanger. I didn't get to see the wing, nor did I check to see where the plane was when I drove the other way after work, but my guess is that the repairs are done; that's all it is though, an educated guess.

Nope, still on going, possible spar damage. Could be in MEL for a while yet.

Ignore what I said above, JamesL probably has a much better idea than I. And I saw it back in the hanger again on my way to work this morning.
