The entry above for June 10 is extremely unlikely to meet the notability guidelines defined at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Notability, so creating a separate article for it would be futile. Perhaps it could be added to 2009 in aviation instead, providing a reliable source is cited. --Itsfullofstars (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
