3 Links I Love: 40 Years After the Crash, Norwegian Cuts, Another 747 Retirement
This week’s featured link:
PSA crash at 40: A page of San Diego history ‘written in blood’ – The San Diego Union-Tribune
It has been 40 years since a PSA 727 smashed into a Cessna over San Diego, killing everyone onboard both aircraft and some on the ground. There were a couple looks back in the media this week, and I thought this one was a good read. It’s remarkable to think about just how far we’ve come since then.

Norwegian Air drops four U.S.-Europe routes; Scotland, Northern Ireland axed – USA Today
Norwegian’s grand experiment with 737s across the Pond doesn’t seem to be working out as planned. Flights from Hartford were already cut. Now on the other side, Edinburgh and Belfast are losing their flights. I suppose that’s just how it works when you throw darts. Some will hit the bulls-eye while others won’t even hit the dartboard.
Royal Air Maroc retires its last Boeing 747 superjumbo aircraft – AirlinerWatch
You probably didn’t even know Royal Air Maroc operated 747s, but it had been flying them solely on the route to Montreal. The aircraft has now been retired, so that’s one less 747 operator in the world.
