	N962TW (cn 53612) Here’s another one from the archives. One of the Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting (ARFF) apparatus standing by with AA 1295 on short-final after it was forced back to the airport soon after it departed for DFW for an emergency landing. A loud “boom” was heard throughout the airport area – including the firehouse – as the MD-80 departed CLE. The 9-1-1 center downtown received calls from North Olmsted residents reporting hearing repeated “booms” and seeing flames shooting from the engine exhaust of a low-flying aircraft. The heavy snow squalls and low-visibility added to the already tense situation. Fortunately, the aircraft landed without incident and taxied to the gate using the other engine.

	N966TW (cn 53616) I was the last ever revenue passenger to leave N966TW. Was honestly kind of emotional to see the cabin, a cabin that has carried probably millions of people to their destinations, empty one last time. Rest easy 4XY

	N9681B (cn 53631) My first day out spotting after my injury back in December. AAL2331 was seen here arriving from Dallas-Fort Worth Intl (KDFW) with runway threshold marking reflections visible on the glossy airframe on 9 March 2019. The MD-83 had some type of mechanical issue on board requiring emergency crews to stand by but they landed without incident.
