Dassault Mercure

Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:22 pm

Hi All,

Does anyone know what dates each individual Dassault Mercure was retired?

I understand the final two finished service on the 29th April 1995, but I am struggling to find anything concrete on the rest.

Kind regards,

Bradley

F-BTTJ, preserved at ORY, flew her last revenue service on 8/7/1994 on flight IT5554 GNB-ORY....from the Musee Delta site.

The Dutch group “Scramble” has a very good, usually reliable, searchable database which should give the results you seek: https://www.scramble.nl/database/civil#results

Probably still a few AF pilots still flying who have held Mercure type ratings, then moved to AF with the takeover.

Of course the Mercure had limitted range which proved a wrong choice less than 20 were sold, a huge loss making program. Soon Dassault had seen enough, even when the game changing CFM56s became available.

I wonder though if, looking back, it was the perfect do's & don'ts learning school for the very similar A320.. although Dassault never became part of Airbus.
