Aviaco´s picture. Not a DC-9.

As we can see clearly in the picture the Aviaco´s plane is not a DC-9 but a MD-88, notice the "beaver" tail cone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.35.66.154 (talk) 21:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Madrid runway disaster → 1983 Madrid Airport runway collision – The current title is not a common name in reliable sources and WP:DISASTER generally recommends that the titling of an article should not include "disaster". The only reliable source that I found using "Madrid runway disaster" was from here. WP:NCE#Aviation recommends that if two or more aircrafts are involved, a where and what should generally be followed, which in this case is Madrid(-Barajas) Airport and runway collision. And as for consistency, most articles on events where two or more aircraft collided generally use a <year> <location/airport> <(runway) collision> format, which overall, would make the title more descriptive whilst staying concise and precise.
