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.
