- "10 miles" - add conversion to metric. Apply approach to remainder of article.
- Done. The one conversion that I do not tend to do is altitude, which in aviation in all countries except China and Russia, is measured in feet.
- "caused severe damage to the plane, causing a loss of control." perhaps "resulting in a loss of control" to avoid repeating "causing"?
- Done.
- "scheduled passenger flight from Newark to Atlanta, with scheduled stops" scheduled ... scheduled... I don't think you need the second.
- Done.
- "at an airspeed of 2" presumably that's the cruise speed as the airspeed varies drastically across the course of the flight.
- The source used "true airspeed" which is different than ground speed. I clarified that and linked to true airspeed in the article in case a reader wants to dive into the nuances of airspeed measurements in aviation.
- "The aircraft struck two whistling swans with the stabilizers of the aircraft " repeat of aircraft is jarring here.
- Done.
- " and its airspeed increased from 240 to 365 knots (280 to 420 mph; 440 to 680 km/h)" for my interest, how do they know this?
- The aircraft was equipped with a flight data recorder, which was recovered from the accident scene. The data shows the airspeed measurements right up to the point of impact.
- Is that recorder mentioned in the article? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:02, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- First paragraph of the "investigation" section. RecycledPixels (talk) 17:05, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Duh. I was looking for flight data recorder (linked possibly) so hence the fail... Okay, cool. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:20, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

- "June 30, 1956.[5][1] " refs in numerical order.
- Done.
- European Theater -> European theater.
- Done.
- Empennage is overlinked.
- Done.
- "section 25.631 " vs "in JAR 25.631 "...
- Done.
Not too much to say here really, an interesting read and an already good article, just some minor suggestions. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 10:54, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking at this. I've made those changes and some other minor copyedits. RecycledPixels (talk) 15:56, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- RecycledPixels no problem, happy with all of that although one response above regarding the flight recorder. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:02, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, good work. As I said, good article and good updates, so promoting. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:20, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
