A friend sent me this. I don't know how factual the data is but the pictures appear real.
"A Boeing 727 after landing from a flight over Alberta, Canada on Friday 10 Aug 2006. On a night flight, around 11PM, Canadian 727 aircraft 705BX was cruising at 35,000 feet when it encountered hail the size of tennis balls. The pictures below show some of the damage. All landing lights were destroyed, as was the radar. The crew was forced to make a nearly "blind" night emergency landing. It is expected that the aircraft is a total loss as its structural integrity has been compromised. The ol' Boeing Three-Holer made it through though."
