Boeing 787-8 with registration N947BA (MSN 35507) has indeed been scrapped, becoming one of the first Dreamliners to be dismantled, with reports indicating its scrapping occurred around March 2024 at Roswell, New Mexico, after a relatively short operational life, often linked to its initial intended use for executive configuration and the growing market for used serviceable parts.
