My JAS-39 Gripen "TV practice plane" has taken a beating in the last week. "Ground slapping" on three occasions during low altitude, high alpha practicing. Fortunately, being low, slow and resilient allowed me to keep putting it back into the air undamaged beyond some cosmetic scuffmarks to the underside.
