June 7, 2022. As a FedEx MD10 flies through northern Oklahoma, the crew contacts Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZKC ARTCC) with one of the most serious emergencies that can occur aboard an aircraft – the aircraft’s systems are reporting a fire on board. The crew elects to begin an emergency descent and diversion to Tulsa. Emergency crews at the airport are scrambled and air traffic controllers work to bring the aircraft down. Can the crew and air traffic controllers coordinate to get the aircraft back on the ground safely? Watch and listen to find out.

Interesting to note, this is the same airframe that was involved in the Federal Express Flight 705
hijack attempt in 1994.

Flight Number: FX463 / FDX463
Route: Sacramento International Airport (SMF / KSMF) ❯ Memphis International Airport (MEM / KMEM) diverted to Tulsa International Airport (TUL / KTUL)
Registration: N306FE
Type: MD10 (converted by Boeing from DC10F)
