It’s not like the whole $3.5MM jet is a write-off.

The hull damage and re-certification should be a fraction of the plane cost.

Composite fuselage - and the jet engine ($$$) itself sits between the ruddervators ($$$), with the BRS ($$$) just in front - probably the worst place to hit that jet. Easily $1-1.5M.

A wing or the nose would have been far easier to inspect and replace.
