RB>I'm  going to guess on the approximate date,  somewhere around 1968.
RB>And yes, It was an American Airlines B-707,  this I am positive
RB>about. 
RB>It may not have been a scheduled stop,  they may have lost 
RB>one and landed here.
I just got off the phone with my friend John Judge, Director of 
Maintenance with AAL.  He tells me that it was a Transcon Overflight 
that lost an engine and went into Denver.  There was then a Tulsa Crew 
that went out to fly it out and did have a Runway departure.  After that 
of course more emphasis was placed on 3 engine ferry and as of late the 
Tulsa Pilots get a different type of training in the Sim to include 
this.  We never flew 707' into Denver.  I understand the DC-10 did go in 
there some in the 80's.  
RB>I'll bet there is someone on the Board who may have an exact date.
He was unsure of the exact date but the above mentioned time sounded 
about right to him.
