          98-00011

 

 

             98-00011, Boeing Vertol Tab Number MN076, U.S. Army Tab Number M8001, was a CH-47F helicopter prototype. The U.S. Army acceptance date was 17 December 2002. As of 1 April 2009, 98-00011 had accumulated an unknown number of F model hours and 6,363.3 total aircraft hours.

   98-00011 was a conversion from D model Chinook 83-24107, which was originally A model Chinook 63-07922.

   In October 1999, 98-00011 was inducted into the F model program, converted, and initially assigned to the Aviation Technical Test Center (ATTC), located at Cairns Army Airfield, Fort Rucker, Alabama, for operational testing and data collection.

   As of 1 July 2009, 98-00011 was 44.3 years old.

   In the Spring of 2009, initial plans were to reinduct 98-00011 into the F model program and complete the conversion to a full up F model instead of the prototype version.

   At some point on an unknown date, a decision to scrap the airframe was made. 98-00011 was scrapped at Summit Aviation, which was located at Middletown, Delaware.

   The last known location of 98-00011 was at Summit Aviation, Middletown, Delaware.

   Aircraft status: Scrapped.
