02/15/2007. Remarks by Jack McKillop: "This was the 614th DC-6/DC-7 aircraft built and it was delivered to Eastern Air Lines of New York, New York, USA, on August 31, 1955. This aircraft returned from a training flight on June 28, 1957 and taxied to the maintenance hangar at Miami International Airport, Florida. Near the hangar the airplane collided with a parked Eastern Air Lines Lockheed 1049 Constellation (N6212C) causing a fuel leak and a massive fire which destroyed both aircraft." |
