Two aircraft accidents in 1975, one at John F. Kennedy International Airport at New York City on June 24 and the other at Stapleton International Airport at Denver on August 7, were examined in detail. The third accident on June 23, 1976 at Philadelphia International Airport is being investigated. All accidents occurred as aircraft, either descending or climbing, lost altitude while experiencing strong wind shear inside downburst cells.
