N536JB was hardly a "doomed" jet ... yes it was involved in a notable landing accident, but was quickly repaired and returned to service

> in Oct 1993 I flew on 757 N644AA which was operating AA77 on 11 Sep 2001

> in Jul 1981 while working as a flight test analysis engineer for Boeing I was responsible for an avionics test on a 737-200 before delivery to T.A.M.E. of Ecuador; two years later it crashed into a mountain a couple miles from its destination of Cuenca

> in Dec 1972 I flew on 747 N739PA which was destroyed by a bomb over Lockerbie Scotland in 1988
