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
Total airframe hours: 56099
Crew: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 6
Passengers: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 62

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.
