Title:: N852TW, TWA, Boeing 727-31, Star Stream, Airstair, JT8D, JT8D-7B, August 1965, 1960s; Built: 1964
First flight: 21/04/1964
CN: 18571
MSN: 42
Seats: 134
Engines: 3x Pratt & Whitney JT8D-7B
This aircraft was destroyed in a landing mishap, here are details of the accident:
Status: Final, Landing
Date: 27/08/1988
Time: 16:50
First flight: 21/04/1964 (24 years 4 months)
Total airframe hours: 56099
Crew: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 6
Passengers: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 62
Total: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 68
Airplane damage: Substantial
Airplane fate: Written off (damaged beyond repair)
Location: Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, Illinois (ORD)
Departure airport: Saint Louis Lambert International Airport, Missouri (STL/KSTL)
The landing gear would not extend and the pilot elected to do a go around. By using an alternate emergency gear extension procedure, the crew tried to extend the undercarriage, but these attempts were unsuccessful. The crew chose to make a belly landing at O'Hare Airport. It appeared that the gear selector actuating rod was disconnected from the normal gear retract and extend actuating assembly. The crew damaged the manual gear extension mechanism in the manual extension attempts. Fortunately no lives were lost. The jet aircraft was written-off.

: Connecting The Dots With Vern

Even as a kid, I have always been amazed with flight - and yet as magical as flying seems to be - The burning of fossil fuels by the aviation industry is not sustainable! The industry (and each of us) are in fervent denial, even though the industry espouses their green credentials. This charade will be one of the many atrocities that destroys a human habitable world. Though the Earth does not care, WE as the dominant species should! To fly is to massively pollute! . . . and will hasten our own demise. The Sixth great extinction is presently underway. 2024 ... --- ...
