Many are circa 2002-2003. Some are as new as 2009, others as old as 1999.
We received many of the 2003s at 9E. They are tired airframes.

Wow! That's really too bad. I thought, at first, that this was a new aircraft. But, finding out that they are THAT old is tough to hear. I've spent quite a bit of time at outstations filling in pages of logs with deferrals for old aircraft. I really didn't want to go through that again. I appreciate your link and your post.
I had heard that there were quite a few of these former 700's that sat in the desert for a while. Do you what the percentage of these 550's that might have gone that route? Thanks again!
