Rick, et al,

 

I was interested as to how the N-number FAA entries for Lancairs would show up after fatal accidents where the assumption would be that the plane was destroyed and should not show up in a count of flying Lancairs, but should perhaps be added to the total of those that flew.  I picked a fatal early in each year:

 

1991 - 360R - Cancelled, re-issued to another Lancair in 2000.

1992 - no fatals

1993 - 69WD - Cancelled, reasigned in 2004

1994 - 6RC - Destroyed, currently reserved from 1999

1995 - 360BJ - Destroyed, reissued to a 737 in 2005

1996 - 320L - Not suitable for use -?

1997 - 360GB - Still Registered, AW 1997, Destroyed in crash.

1998 - 109GF - Still registered, AW 1997, Destroyed in crash.

1999 - 6111 - Destroyed, reassigned 2003

2000 - Hmmmm, skipped that year??

2001 - 316M - Destroyed, Deregistered.

2002 - 427DJ - Destroyed, Currently reserved.

2003 - 29ME - Destroyed, Deregistered.

2004 - 330KT - Still registered. Destroyed by crash.

2005 - 124JH - Still registered. 1 survivor, the plane was not destroyed (substantial damage).

2006 - 79Y - Not suitable for use -?

 

Do some of these show up in the counts?
