Bake's 1:400 Collection

As far as I am aware, they had 25 total birds and October of 2009 they sold off 10 of them. The rest should have been redeployed to boston for the “shuttle” routes to PHL and LGA. That’s from wikipedia so who knows on accuracy but I’ll dig a little bit to confirm. The E190s were mostly an east coast thing for a long time I know that. I don’t think they ever made it over to phoenix for scheduled service.

So here’s what i’m finding right now. There’s not a ton of information surrounding specific routes or one offs of course but this is from the AA newsroom website when they announced the retirement of E190s/767s/crj200s:

  • Joined the US Airways fleet in 2006 prior to joining American's fleet in 2013.
  • 20 E190s in the fleet as of Jan. 1, 2020.
  • Flew domestic routes, with extensive support for American Airlines Shuttle.
so that tells me that there was maybe only 5 sold off instead of 10 that wiki says but that they were all mainly used on the shuttle routes which were between BOS-PHL-LGA-DCA.

I also found an airliners.net forum talking about the E190s when they were first introduced 20 years ago on route speculations for the future. They were based at PHL mainly and apparently BDL and PVD - PHL on top of the assumed shuttle routes it actually got. The main focus was the use them within 500nm of PHL (very underutilized as everyone at the time mentioned). I assume they might have broadened the scope of routes at various times to try new things as all airlines do from time to time. I’ll make an airliners.net post about it soon and see if anyone has any recollection on the various routes they were used over the years.

I also found a flyertalk forum with a FA talking about a 3day trip on the E190s in 2009:

3 day on the E190
Check-in at 0634

CLT-ATL
ATL-CLT
CLT-DCA
Layover of 1848 hrs.

DCA-PHL
PHL-DCA
DCA-CLT
CLT-PHL
PHL-IND
Layover of 1103 hrs.

IND-CLT
CLT-RDU
RDU-CLT
CLT-JAX
JAX-CLT
Done at 1716

It seems like they actually were used all over the place, just obviously based in PHL and not making it far away from the east coast normally. Very interesting to dive into!

Does AA still have A330's in storage?

All but a handful are currently sitting in long term storage in the desert. AA stated they will not bring them back but the -300s were on there way out pandemic or not by about this time anyways. Qatar is eyeing the -200s that were brought in a couple years later and are the newest 330s from that fleet.

4 are currently “out and about” from my quick research:

N270AY, N271AY, N272AY & N278AY (-300s for freighter conversion I think?)

I stand corrected from my last post:

According to Airfleets, All but one of the nine -300 have now been scrapped. The lone survivor is N272AY. All the -200s are still labeled at stored since 2020. I believe a few -200s have been bouncing around the planet for a while now getting fitted in some way for new owners.
 
Not really anything regarding collection but since it was brought up:

I just received a notification that N285AY (a -200) is on the radar now at MEX. I assume this is some restoration from being brought out of long term storage/maybe it being fitted for cargo operations!

Do we know what livery its wearing now? I assume the AA titles have been scrubbed off?
 
Unsure as it could be getting whatever new paint job now but they all should still be in the AA gray color and maybe some tail paint is still there but yes all AA titles have been scrubbed as far as I know
 
Hello All,

I’ve posted the history of these jets and lots more of my fun photos in their own specific thread linked here:

N587UW:

This model was released by Aeroclassics in Feb 2024. It’s the only manufacturer to release this specific plane. Gemini is the only other brand to release the other 4 retros so this is the only way to get this model for now!

Delta 767-332ER (N1201P)​


Delta used to send 763s and 757s into PIT a couple years ago for international service to Paris CDG. Delta began the service to Paris starting in 2009 with a year-round schedule but then changed to a summer only schedule in 2011, just two years after starting the service. The cut came from the shortly after announced BA service returning to PIT in 2019, which is now daily (or 6 weekly) 787 service of all types. At the time PIT also had Condor and WOW causing messiness in the market. It would be great to get these 76s back but that’s highly unlikely as of now.

N1201P is a Delta 767-332ER delivered in 1998. This frame was delievered in the loved Ron Allen livery without winglets at the time. In 2008 it was updated to be in this now current livery and in 2011 was fitted with its winglets. This frame is still active in Deltas fleet today but will more than likely be retired by 2030 as that is the plans for the whole 763 fleet.
