If you're looking for the tail # from a particular flight in Feb maybe the BTS site is a better bet (look under detailed statistics for the departure or arrival):

Thanks. I tried BTS first, but didn't find it (maybe because it was international).

Signed up for FlightAware, and determined that the plane I flew as N932EV, not N932SW.

The news articles said that the 31 passengers who were connecting to other flights all made their connections. (But would their baggage have made it?)

It will be out of service for a while.

Not the most sensible comment for broadcast news.
Fox has a habit of inappropriate commentary, remember the Asiana pilots "named"...

As for SkyWest - I fly on them quite a bit within CA, and have experienced nothing but competence and professionalism. Looks like a great job done by all!

KTVU was owned by Cox Broadcasting at the time of that incident, not Fox.

Very true, though they were a Fox affiliate and as such my mind lumps them together - apologies if this offended
