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.

Accident at Kansas City, Missouri

On December 27, 2008, the Embraer Erj 170-10 aircraft (registration N871RW), operated by Delta Connection, was involved in an accident at Kansas City, Missouri (United States), leaving 1 injured. Source: the NTSB (United States).

What happened

On 27 December 2008, during the descent into the destination airport, the crew deviated to avoid thunderstorms, anticipating turbulence, and warned both the flight attendants and the passengers. The captain reported that the aircraft then met «light bumps with areas of moderate to severe turbulence». During the episode, a flight attendant who was in the aft galley securing a drinks cart fell onto her left side and fractured an ankle. Source: the NTSB (United States).

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.
