Dead links to NTSB Reports from Hunt Library[edit]

It took awhile, but I finally was able fix the dead link to the NTSB report on this accident. The old link went to the old Embry-Riddle Hunt Library. But, they have revamped their web pages, so it didn't work anymore. I suspect that there will now be a lot more dead links in Wiki Airliner accident articles, that may have to be redirected to the new Hunt Library pages.

Which airplane and which wing?[edit]

I'm a little confused by the closing paragraph of this article:

"The aircraft involved in the accident was eventually returned to service. A replacement for the right wing was attached to it salvaged from another DC-9 accident. The fuselage of Air Canada Flight 797 was destroyed by fire after an emergency landing at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport earlier that year. It was acquired by Republic Airlines and flew with Northwest Airlines after their merger until it was retired in 2006."

The wording of this paragraph is confusing to me. I think it's saying:

"The Flight 650 aircraft was eventually returned to service. A replacement for the right wing was attached to it from a DC-9 aircraft with a destroyed fuselage, Air Canada Flight 797. Subsequently, the Flight 650 aircraft was acquired by Republic Airlines and flew with Northwest Airlines after their merger, until the aircraft was retired in 2006."

I am reluctant to make those changes because I can't find any reference, in the investigation reports for either incident, that the wing replacement happened, nor about the eventual fate of the Flight 650 aircraft. Does anyone (original editor?) have such a reference? MikeBz (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
