	Type: C-82A-20-FA s/n / msn: 44-23027 / 10071 Present Location: Hagerstown Aviation Museum, Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Fuselage only for intended restoration and display in Hagerstown. This airframe was the one and only Steward-Davis Jet-Packet 3200 prototype as N5095V then N8009E, a piece of history!!! Photo: Ralph M. Pettersen 2003.
	Type: C-82A-FA s/n / msn: 45-57782 / 10152 Present Location: Hagerstown Aviation Museum, Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Fuselage only for intended restoration and display in Hagerstown. This airframe was a Steward-Davis Jet-Packet 1600 as N5102B and saw extensive civil service up to the 1990s. Photo: Ralph M. Pettersen 2006.
	Type: C-82A-FA s/n / msn: 45-57793 / 10163 Present Location: Yukon Flats, Alaska, USA Crash landed in January, 1965 and subsequently abandoned by owner Interior Airways Inc. as the site was too remote for a feasible salvage operation. Registration was N208M. The airframe looks to be in one relatively whole piece with most damage likely to be in the fuselage belly and undercarriage.

TWO AS COMPONENTS
