Comments:
- "a nine-year veteran of Eastern", "Eastern" sounds colliqual here.
- "Though the control tower responded that Flight 663 was at a higher altitude than Flight 212, it was, in fact, lower." should be combined with the following paragraph.
- The Aftermath and investigation contains many short paragraphs that should be combined.
- "The Navy" sounds colliqual.
- The sentence "An additional thirteen Coast Guard vessels searched the shores of Long Island salvage efforts." sounds awkward.
- Are there any pictures that can be added to the article?

Infobox photo
Instead of picturing a Delta DC--7 in the Infobox, I've replaced it with this EAL DC-7B photo — it more closely resembles the accident aircraft and is similarly used in the German Wikipedia article about this crash. JGHowes talk 23:56, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
