Safety record

Accident & incident history

1999-06-25 Incident · San Diego, CA NTSB · LAX99IA230
Reported aircraft: Boeing DC-9-82 — a different aircraft that carried the N450AA registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: failure of the number three bearing. The resulting oil leak from the bearing led to coke/carbon buildup, which resulted in chafing of the turbine's low-pressure compressor drive shaft on the rear compressor seal tube and subsequent fracture of the drive shaft.
