The 150 passenger P & W JT8D powered Mercure was the French answer to the 737. It was a bit like the Trident taking on the 727 it had no chance! It first flew in 1971 only 12 were built and the last one was retired in 1995. In the end it was a very reliable and safe aircraft. The Mercure in a way was a failed early attempt of the now very successful A320?
