This was a rather remarkable incident that seems to happen about once a year or so I hear are a radome getting bashed in by hail or a bird.

Interesting that the windshield wasn't destroyed as is often happens in heavy hail situations.

ATC with DAL1076.

We had some bad weather the past couple of days in FL.

Luckily there are about a thousand other aircraft that can step in as a replacement. Going to have to due a cost/benefit review to see if this should be repaired or put out to pasture.

Seems to me that replacing the nose cone / radome would be relatively cheap, though more expensIve if the radar and electronics behind it are toast, and/or if windscreens and other things were damaged. Either way, I can’t see how it’s enough damage to write-off the airplane

Something similar happened to an American jet over western Tx about 2 years ago. Cone all bashed in as well the windshield. Pilots had to switch to to exclusive instruments (couldn't see anything)
I seem to recall the jet was back in service after being getting a new nose and windshield.

Agree on it not seemingly an airplane write off damage (what I could see / read in article), unfortunately, business environment may say what economically makes best business sense. I am beginning to wonder when aircraft prices (thinking more typical passenger types) will drop so low that that Trade-A-Plane will have several pages listing each type; Sad thinking of business environment....
