Ex 9 Air 737 N893BA update & pics

Ex 9 Air 737-86X B-7998 msn 61358/6370 registered to Boeing Company on Oct 20 as N893BA and flew away Oct 23-24, Boeing Field-Baltimore flying using reg as callsign.  Called in at Grant County for 1 approach/touch & go enroute.  Continued Oct 24-25 Baltimore-Dinard, again as N893BA.  New hex code AC5093.  Still in full 9 Air livery.

The new customer/owner is the Polish Government.  This is the 1st of 3 frames with the 2nd and 3rd frames due from the factory in early 2018.

9 Air B-7998 update & pic

9 Air 737-86X B-7998 msn 61358/6370 seen here at Boeing Field, Oct 16, still parked in stall C14 but now wearing registration N893BA.  Not yet registered on the FAA register as I write but the reg is one that Boeing Company uses so it would suggest that 9 Air has sold the frame (they contractually took delivery of it at the end of June, although the exact date is unclear).  New hex code AC5093.
