[edit] Contested fact

An anonymous contributor asserts that this cannot be true, because the person in question was already dead:

• Curtis Mathes was the president of the company that bore his name. His company was established in 1899 as a furniture maker and later entered the hi-fidelity audio and television field. Its slogan was: The most expensive television in America, and darn well worth it!

Anyone have any insight into this? —Cleared as filed. 01:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

The University of Texas-Austin has an online "who's-who" at www.tsha.utexas.edu. It lists Curtis Mathes as dying on February 22, 1977 in Escarzu, Costa Rica. The obituary was submitted by W. Michael Mathes, his son.

[edit] Montreal airport

The article and infobox contradict each other on what Montreal airport this flight was ultimately headed to -- either Mirabel or Dorval (Trudeau). The date of the incident, and the transborder nature of the flight, would suggest Dorval... but I have nothing to confirm this. Anyone have a source on this? Cactus165 21:12, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Seeing how the leg of this flight was Toronto-Montreal, I believe it safe to assume it was YUL and not YMX. Fixing infobox to reflect YUL, as mentioned in the main article. Cactus165 23:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
