We're talking about the saga of N874AA (I refer to it in the show as "Nine874”)

An ex- AA 727 that was donated to the museum of flight in Seattle, WA & ended up in the hands of a museum located in Missouri. It was ultimately scrapped in 2021.  But it’s not the scrapping of the aircraft which I found interesting, it's the circumstances surrounding the scrapping of the aircraft which is right up the alley of 'shady'.  And yes, it includes some aircraft maintenance 'stuff' too!

Strap in and hold on, another great expose' episode coming at you!
