Accident & incident history

2001-10-23 Incident · Long Beach, CA NTSB · LAX02IA013
Reported aircraft: McDonnell Douglas 600N — a different aircraft that carried the N959SD registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The fatigue failure of a 5/16-inch boom attach bolt was most probably caused by the angular misalignment between the tail boom bolt hole and the fuselage mounted nutplate.
