HB-AHA ¦ FDH 30.03.1985

            Saab SF.340A (c/n 005)
Crossair
Friedrichshafen-Löwental (FDH/EDNY)
30 March 1985

HB-AHA was the very first of eventually 35 Saab 340s in service with Crossair, and was delivered to the Swiss regional carrier in June 1984.

In March 1985 it was displayed at the AERO Friedrichshafen general aviation exhibition, and was subsequently captured parked in the static display, albeit some pleasure rides were offered to visitors during the days of the exhibition.

HB-AHA's life with Crossair was rather short, as on 21 February 1990 it was damaged beyond economical repair when the landing gear was raised while the aircraft was parked at Zürich airport. The locking pins to prevent movement had not been inserted.

The pilot responsible for this was also responsible for a number of other incidents at Crossair, and eventually became the PiC of the ill-fated Avro RJ100 HB-IXM which crashed in November 2001 while on a night approach to runway 28. The accident was classified as CFIT (controlled flight into terrain) due to pilot error. Both pilots, one flight attendant and 21 passengers did not survive the crash.
