The surprising thing is probably how little damage was done. A punctured skin and a couple of bent nose spars. The aircraft remained controllable and landed safely.
Not much more than a days work for a couple of good structures guys to put it all back together. Aluminium is a very damage-tolerant material and that’s one tough old bird they built from it.
I’m not belittling the risk. A prop or windscreen strike might have had a very different outcome.
