The day a passenger airplane landed on fire at CVG GO TO > BACKGROUND On June 2,1983, a plane developed an in-flight fire in air around the rear lavatory that spread between the outer skin and the inner decor panels, filling the plane with toxic smoke. The spreading fire also burned through crucial electrical cables that disabled most of the instrumentation in the cockpit, forcing the plane to divert to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

Old NKY photos Aviation guidance lights installed after plane slammed into Boone County hillside GO TO > BACKGROUND On November 20, 1967, TWA Flight 128 slammed into the Boone County hillside while on final approach to the airport. The flight was initially scheduled to make an Instrument Landing System approach to Greater Cincinnati Airport's runway 18 (now runway 18C). The outer marker beacon for runway 18 was operational, but the middle marker beacon, glide slope, and runway approach lights were inoperative. Under these conditions, proper procedure would be to maintain the minimum approach altitude of 1,290 feet above mean sea level until the pilots made visual contact with the runway. Misreading the height radio to the ground, the plane slammed into the Boone County hillside and 70 were dead. NTSB investigators determined the likely cause of the accident to be crew error, in attempting a visual no-glide-slope approach at night. After the runway reopened, high intensity lights were installed on the hillside along with glide-slope equipment beacons on recommendation of the National Transportation Safety Board.
