I know that Dana air crashed one of them, one of the last ones to leave the AS fleet and one a rode on DEN-SEA just weeks before they got rid of it. Still a bit eerie to me. To the best of my knowledge thats the only A/C that Ive ever been on that crashed later. I think it was N944AS

At the time of the Dana AIr mishap I read into and researched some of the history of that a/c and found it had a quite troubled past many times with AS before DanaAir even had it. Not small troubles either but some of the biggest emergency issues an a/c can have. Several onboard smoke and fire incidents and engine incidents
