          98-00012

 

 

             98-00012, Boeing Vertol Tab Number MN426, U.S. Army Tab Number M8002, was a CH-47F helicopter prototype. The U.S. Army acceptance date was 7 May 2002. As of 1 April 2009, 98-00012 had accumulated an unknown number of F model hours and 5,359.6 total aircraft hours.

   98-00012 was a conversion from D model Chinook 83-24115, which was originally B model Chinook 67-18456.

   In October 1999, 98-00012 was inducted into the F model program, converted, and initially assigned to the Aviation Technical Test Activity (ATTC) at Fort Rucker Alabama.

   As of 2 July 2009, this aircraft was 41.6 years old.

   In the Spring of 2009, initial plans were to reinduct 98-00012 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. 98-00012 was scrapped at Summit Aviation, which was located at Middletown, Delaware.

   The last known location of 98-00012 was at Summit Aviation, Middletown, Delaware.

   Aircraft status: Scrapped.
