Pan Am Flight 759 (N4737)

[jspilot]

I have an Aviation Safety class at the college I am attending. I have to do a research paper and presentation on an airline crash. I decided to pick Pan Am Flight 759 departing KMSY June 1982 and crashed due to windshear. I downloaded the NTSB accident report. I was wondering if there are any other good website, reports, etc. for crashes. Thanks for all the future input.

I decided to pick Pan Am Flight 759 departing KMSY June 1982 and crashed due to windshear.

I flew for PAA from 89-91. A few captains talked about this accident. N4737 was a National airplane (727-235) with JT8D-7 engines. Commonly referred to as a -7 Lead Sled. One captain said if had -15 engines it would have flown out of it.

Whoever coined the term "flying like a cowboy" this is what they meant.
