Thurman Munson bought four planes during his lifetime culminating on July 6, 1979 with the purchase of a blue and white, seven-seat, twin-engine, Cessna Citation 501 — that he marked with his Yankee number, "N15NY". Munson was certified to fly the Citation only 11 days after he bought it, on July 17, 1979. On August 2, 1979, at 4:02 p.m., the Citation struck the ground about 1,000 feet short of runway 1-9 in a field dotted with small trees at the Akron-Canton Airport.
