1977 Aviateca Convair 240 crash

The 1977 Aviateca Convair 240 crash article was proded because the article didnt agree with the source, I removed the prod and added another CAA/ICAO source for 28 fatalities. Since the article was created using ASN the ASN article has been changed to show no fatalities, Flight doesnt list it as a fatal accident and said no injuries at the time. Anybody know any more about this accident, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 16:20, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

As well as not appearing in Flight as an incident with fatalities, does it appear under the list of non-fatal incidents for 1977? It'll probably be in the January 1978 issues.GraemeLeggett (talk) 22:12, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Flight lists it as a non-fatal accident, both in the half-yearly accident list and in a very short news article at the time of the accident. More discussion at the accident talk page.Nigel Ish (talk) 22:19, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Good clue it is in the non-fatal list with injuries as nil but no figures for crew or passengers and the circumstances says "No details". MilborneOne (talk) 22:22, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

For once I managed to find it 21 January 1978 p184 without going through page by page. GraemeLeggett (talk) 22:32, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Asking for opinions

Does anyone think we need a category for Korean Air Lines Flight 007? One does exist[1]...William 16:04, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Notable victims being deleted from American Airlines Flight 191

An IP is holding that either all of the victims must be listed or none can be listed. This is not my usual bailiwick so I would appreciate attention from the regulars. Mangoe (talk) 14:10, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

List of airline flights that required gliding

Not an article visited by task force members but just came across List of airline flights that required gliding, I am sure that just loosing power and then crashing is not really gliding as per Gimli glider. Suggest it needs a prune although I suspect it would not leave many entries. MilborneOne (talk) 11:27, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Well these days nothing surprises me here. At least it isn't List of airline flights that serve coffee. Ahunt (talk) 13:25, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Indian Air Force Flight 203

It's this crash[2]. 203 was a military flight that crashed into a mountain killing 98. It was the worst ever accident involving a Antonov-12 and the worst accident in India at the time. The wreckage wasn't located till about a decade ago and they just found one of the bodies. Do you think its notable enough for an article?...William 00:15, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to meet WP:AIRCRASH for military crashes, as there were no notable people on board and it doesn't seem to have resulted in any procedural, design or similar changes. - Ahunt (talk) 01:10, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

2000 Heathrow runway near miss

On the 23 April 2000, an British Airways Boeing 747 and an British Midland Airbus A320 was involved in a runway incursion. It was classed as a serious incident just like 2005 Logan Airport runway incursion and 2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursio but would it be notable for a stand alone article?
