Pan Am Flight 841

 * ... that the shooting and death of the hijacker of Pan Am Flight 841 at Tan Son Nhut Air Base caused the pilot to come home to celebration at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport as well as vandalism to his home?


 * Comment: I am typing this on the fly and will probably reword it later, so feel free to fix it for clarity if any issues come up.

 * ALT1: ... that the 1972 shooting death of the Vietnamese hijacker of Pan Am Flight 841 resulted in the pilot receiving honors at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport as well as death threats and vandalism at his home?  General Ization  Talk   16:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * General Ization, the nominator, Ktr101, has just been banned from all Wikimedia sites, including this one. Did you want to take over the nomination on your own? So far as I can tell, you don't have five DYK nominations as yet, so no QPQ would be required. (Ktr101 would have owed a QPQ, given his nomination history.) Please let me know as soon as you can. If you don't wish to pursue it, I'll then arrange to have it closed. Thanks. (I'm asking you because as far as I can tell, Rich just created a template for the article with a couple of sentences of text only, while you wrote almost the entire thing, so it's your decision about whether to proceed, not his.)

 * Yes, I'll be happy to nominate, or re-nominate, the article (though I do much prefer my ALT1 wording to the original proposal).  How to proceed?   General Ization   Talk   01:20, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * General Ization, you don't need to do anything at this point; I've adjusted the template page to show you as the nominator going forward. You should monitor the page so you can respond to any questions that might arise during the DYK review. Thank you for your quick response. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:50, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Hook is too long, please shorten it to under 200 characters. The hook is interesting and sourced in the article. This article is fascinating and I really enjoyed reading it and the sources. The article meets the critera for length, is within the DYK time scales and is written from a neutral perspective (I appreciate how difficult this must have been to do). General Ization, let me know if you are able to shorten the hook then I can approve this DYK ツStacey (talk) 12:48, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
