message: Er- why is the picture of Ben stating "with tie"? If it's a joke, it's pretty tasteless. I'm changing, if anyone has a good reason for it then please tell me here! --graham228221 (talk) 15:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why grounded? 

message: The 727 never had that large of a fuel capacity. Is it suppose to say 5300 liters? Makes sense with the range calculated. Source says wrong also making the source invalid. 
How much fuel did it have on takeoff?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.175.129.94 (talk) 05:30, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fuel range? 

message: This [article] implies that the plane's remains were discovered in Mali in 2009, and that it is now know that it was used in a drug-smuggling scheme. Should we update the wiki article to address this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.71.166.188 (talk) 22:52, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Has it been found?

message: The link for IRS Airlines goes to a Wikipedia page which describes the enterprise as a Nigerian company. If it was indeed insurance fraud, then this is an obvious location to look at. Was a search ever conducted there?
On the other hand, that same page does not list this aircraft in "incidents & accidents" section. 165.73.68.95 (talk) 18:06, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
