Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

On 1 April 2011, at about 15:58, a Boeing 737-300 (N632SW) operating as Southwest Airlines flight 812, from Phoenix, Arizona, to Sacramento, California, suffered a rapid decompression while climbing through FL340. The crew made an emergency descent and diverted to Yuma International Airport, Arizona. Of the 5 crew and 117 passengers on board, one crew member and an off-duty airline employee suffered minor injuries. The aircraft was left with significant damage: a section of fuselage skin some 1.5 m long by 20 cm wide fractured and opened up like a flap on the upper left side, above the wing.

Memories coming soon

The register of memories is not open on this aircraft yet. We are enabling it gradually, record by record, as we consolidate each aircraft's information.

Before opening it we check the aircraft identity — its registration, its serial number and its model — against the civil register of the authority that registered it, so that every memory belongs to the exact aircraft that lived it. When that work reaches this record, the register will open here.
