Talk:American Airlines Flight 1 (1962)

Flight numbers taken out of service
This is the fourteenth straight accident report I've read that states that aircraft flight numbers are normally retired after fatal accidents, but "not for this flight". I have a sneaking suspicion that this was nowhere near as common back in the 1950s and 1960s as it is now. Of course, back then there were a LOT!! more accidents than there are now, so they would have run out of numbers had they retired them.

In the US alone in 1962 there were 15 major (hull loss) airliner accidents, plus another 11 to US airlines outside of the United States! Nowadays it's a bad year if there are two. --Charlene.fic 23:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Notable victims: Louise Sarah Eastman (mother of Linda McCartney)
Maybe you also mention Louise Sarah Eastman (born: Lindner) as one of the victims? She's the mother of Linda McCartney.

 * The consensus is not to name the dead or survivors unless they have a wikipedia article. Here are just some of the many discussions-

Plus see ANI discussions here and here. There is one exception- the cockpit crew of the aircraft involved....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:51, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

I found the original accident report here: https://www.baaa-acro.com/sites/default/files/import/uploads/2017/11/N7506A.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.51.22 (talk) 22:28, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The report is already used as a reference in several places via the National Transportation Library, though the link was broken. I've updated it to https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/33668, which contains the same PDF. Having a backup source for the report is good, though. clpo13(talk) 22:48, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 December 2021
I would like you to replace the infobox image caption as an aircraft similar to the accident aircraft that image is NOT N7506A. It is N7523A taken by Jon Proctor at this link:. Thanks! UselessIdiotNamedBlue (talk) 06:21, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
