Does anyone know where the pics are of the Avro that MX broke a few months ago at Mesaba? Some buddies and I were curious what it looked like and I could not dig anything up. I had heard they were on Airliners.net but had no luck finding them.

Thanks

There was this one which the mechanics crashed into a jetway. Is this the one?

Can the Mesaba guys shed some light on this? Was this thing ever fixed or was it scraped?

They went back and forth for months but finally ended up scraping it. Too much damage to the frame and they decided it wasn't worth fixing. I'm not sure who got what but I know for a fact it was junked.
 
528 can now be seen on approach to 36L at Memphis...it has become the fire trainer for the MEM CFR/ARFF.
 
It kind of makes you wonder if maintenance should really be allowed to taxi those things. Didn't SkyWest lose 2 RJ's in a similar "incident".
 
SkyWest was able to fix the RJ's that got close and personal in COS.
