980 Questions

[donv]

Bruce, do you know how many 980s are actually operational world-wide?

[JMA]

11 in US?  Who am I missing?
Granted, these are from me googling tail number and seeing what pics come in, not flight worthiness by any stretch

695-95060 Jetprop 980         N9812S

Which one did I miss?

Also, what is the story with 95047? Did it crash? I was talking today with my friend who flew it from new, and we were wondering what happened to it.

[donv]

95078-- N980AE?

According to Flightaware, appears to have headed to Europe recently, but on a trip or staying there permanently?

[Steve binnette]

That’s interesting, thanks for the info

[JMA]

Love it DonV, good call, I only had x10, had an international listed in the US... who are we missing??  Love a good mystery.
Would love to know how close I got with the International ones as well?

Shame such an amazing tool as the 980 that is 40 years old and comparable to today's aircraft and so few in use.

[donv]

I'm thinking N940AC, which has 840 serial number 11629 but I believe may have been converted at the factory to a 980 when it was new?

[JMA]

Bruce, who are we missing?  Is Don right, are we missing N940AC?

[donv]

I see N980GR on the market. Looks like a really nice airplane.

[JMA]

Question for you DonV.
I've always noted that N940AC has been referred to as a 695 (980), yet the CN is not a 95XXX, but a 11XXX.
Seems N940AC is now G-LEGZ and doing charters for a 'Legair LTD' in the UK.  Still event their website refers to it as a 980.
Any reason this one is listed that way?

[donv]

I'm pretty sure N940AC was either switched over on the production line or was converted after it was built. Either way, it is a 980.

[JMA]

I guess my question is, why not change CN?  Wouldn't any 840 with converted Dash 10's be considered a 980 then?
I assumed the shorter wings would prevent it being an actual 980.

[donv]

Barry Collman could answer about the serial number.

The wings are the same between 840 and 980. Shorter on the 690A/B, but all of the JetProps have the same wing.

[JMA]

Thanks Don, just a curious one for me.  I assume with the 11xxx CN its not a jetprop thus technically shouldn't be a 980 with the shorter wings? 
Again, just an oddball that always had me wondering.

[donv]

No, 116xx and 117xx are 840s (technically 690C).
