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.

What happened
On 11 September 2001, after the attacks with hijacked aircraft on the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon, the FAA ordered — for the first time in history — the complete closure of United States airspace (the SCATANA plan): all civil aviation was told to land immediately, and by midday the American sky was clear. Around 240 international flights bound for the United States were diverted to Canada — Operation Yellow Ribbon, with more than 30,000 passengers. Airspace reopened gradually from 13 September, by then under new security measures. Source: the FAA (United States).

Accident at Albuquerque, New Mexico

What happened
On 5 March 2016, a Boeing 767-300 freighter registered N305UP, operated by United Parcel Service (UPS) as flight 916, suffered a tail strike while landing on runway 03 at Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), New Mexico, with no injuries to the two pilots. The aircraft, arriving from Louisville (SDF), was left with substantial damage to some 7 metres of lower fuselage skin, several frames and stringers and the tail skid. With wind from 090° at 20 knots gusting 29, the captain disconnected the autothrottle at 158 feet above the threshold, although UPS recommends keeping it in to 50 feet. With the thrust levers back, the airspeed decayed and the nose rose: at touchdown the speed was 128 knots and pitch 8.4° (reaching 8.6°), so the skid and rear fuselage struck the runway about 800 feet beyond the threshold. The crew noticed a 10-knot loss just before touchdown and landed firmer than normal, without realising there had been a strike. Source: the NTSB (United States).
