\"N865AS<\/a><\/p>\n

It has been reported through many media outlets that a SkyWest CRJ-200 has been destroyed at the St. George Municipal Airport in Utah on July 16th, 2012.<\/p>\n

The aircraft was stolen by a former SkyWest pilot who was on administrative leave from the airline and was under investigation in connection to a murder.<\/p>\n

The pilot accessed the aircraft and then, over a short period of time, severely damaged one wing, and possibly broke the spine of the aircraft before eventually tearing through a perimeter fence at the airport before ending the incident in a parking lot.<\/p>\n

Further to those reports, the aircraft in question is CRJ-200ER N865AS (MSN 7507) which was on lease to SkyWest from Atlantic Southeast Airlines in Delta Connection colors.<\/p>\n

Based on photographs of the aircraft after it was removed from the parking lot by crane, it is unlikely that the aircraft will be repaired and returned to service.<\/p>\n

MSN 7507 was built May 11th, 2001 and served first with Atlantic Southeast Airlines before flying for Comair and then ending its service career with Skywest.<\/p>\n

It is assumed that the aircraft will not be repaired as most CRJ-200s are being removed from the Delta Connection fleet in the near term. Scrapping of the aircraft will likely occur on site after an ongoing police investigation has been completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
