Incidents

In the episode Fear of Flying, Homer Simpson went to the private pub at the airport after being kicked out of Moe's Tavern. Then he was sent to take charge of a flight (although he didn't know how to fly a plane). When he got into the Air Springfield DC-10, he acidently raised the landing gear while parked. There were a few minor injuries.

There was also another incident in Fear of Flying. An Air Springfield DC-10 over-ran the runway and ended up in the water. There were no fatalities.
