Accidents and incidents
In January 1985, Galaxy Airlines Flight 203, a Lockheed L-188 Electra, crashed shortly after takeoff in Reno, Nevada, killing 70 people and leaving one survivor. The airline was temporarily shut down and its aircraft were inspected, yet eight days later another Galaxy Airlines Electra, which had been inspected by the FAA, crash landed on a cargo flight with no casualties due to a landing gear failure.
