Comment 1

Just curious, in the future when Wikipedia evolves to that extent, we might have encyclopedia articles documenting each regular flight, as I think that 117 still is an existing route? Although its off into the future, would we need a disambig page then? -- Natalinasmpf 14:23, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wah...probably.....but imagine having to write an article for each airline.....damn! :D--Huaiwei 14:14, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 2

Since there's a section about the PM commendation... Should there also be a President commendation? The Late Ong Teng Cheong award the Commandos a streamer, inscribed "CHANGI 1991" ... gd4u 09:43, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Media briefing.... if memory serves me right the media briefing was memorable for it's brevity and succintness and refusal to give voice to the hijackers... Maybe we need a section on it? Some eyewitness accounts from the passengers would help as well.--PeterMarkSmith 07:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Missing information

Anyone know the plane type of the aircraft involved (model?) or and registration/tail number? It would be useful to add that information. --the previous comment unsigned by User:192.88.212.43

Operation Thunderbolt is a different incident

Check the names and the links, that operation was done by the Israelis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.34.219.117 (talk) 19:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accurcy?

_{Subscript text}It was reported that the plane left at 6:15pm and landed at 10:15pm. GoogleEarth shows this distance at 196 miles(310km). How can it possibly take four hours for the plane to fly that far? The article makes no mention of deviation of flight.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.203.233.79 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
