Reviewer: Resident Mario ( talk · contribs) 04:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC) Nice, short article. Res Mar 04:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
The description of the accident contains this sentence:
"Weather at Lambert Field in St. Louis was poor, with rain, snow, and fog, broken clouds at 800 feet (240 m) and a flight ceiling of 1,500 feet (460 m), requiring an instrument approach."
That doesn't make any sense. Flight ceiling is another term for "absolute ceiling" which is how high an aircraft is capable of level flying and in the T-38's case is 50,000. It is not dependent on weather. I believe the sentence author misinterpreted a reference in the source to cloud ceiling, which is the height of the base of the lowest cloud that covers more than half the sky.
I'm going to change the text and the link. -- 2601:602:9A00:3526:8C03:BE17:480D:81C4 ( talk) 12:55, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
Does there need to be so much detail of the aftermath in the heading section ? Can't that be left in the main body (where it is duplicated) ? -- Beardo ( talk) 02:50, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
