18 Oct - ASA 61 to ANC, return flight ASA 66 to SEA seems to be the last of the 73Q's I can find.

Yup, sure is. It's on the way to Seattle, but they have stopped in BFS. They have to get refueled the plane.

Not quite on its way to SEA. Belfast for the night, then to Greensboro via Bangor tomorrow for maintenance.

Well, they almost nailed the day and month of the delivery. Two out of three isn't so bad, is it?

Looks like the retirement dates that were posted earlier were wrong or have since changed

You can update 708 and 793. Both left the fleet on 09-16-2017.

I am scheduled on a non-combi -400 10/29. Wondering if that is one of the last flights?

Also of note. N627AS looks like it is scheduled to begin freight service tomorrow. There were some fun photos posted on IG recently.

By 10/29 N767AS should be the only passenger -400. It should be retired about a week after your flight.

N627AS probably won't be flying today. Its waiting for parts, plus the time to install, adjust and test.

I am advised that there will be a small celebration/acknowledgment of the combi's retirement at JNU on 10/4, flight 66. Perhaps water arches.
