9 July 1982; Pan Am 727-200, flight 759, windshear.
I remember that day. I was at UNO and you could see the storm building up in the direction Kenner was in, and I called my dad to ask if he would give me a ride home, which he didn't want to do, but he did anyway. About the time we got home, the plane had crashed.
That storm was why the airport, even though not one of the largest, got doppler radar early in its deployment...
