History
Stark had designed a new Quinjet with three being constructed for beta testing when the Avengers had broken up. (New Avengers v1 #4)
With the formation of the New Avengers, Stark had the team use his newly designed Quinjet models in their assignment to capture Karl Lykos who had escaped the Raft for the Savage Land. Upon arriving, they managed to evade several attacks and land after which the jet was destroyed leaving the New Avengers stranded in the Antarctic region. (New Avengers v1 #4)
After officially quitting the Avengers, Carol took one of the Quinjets without permission and joined up with the fugitive New Avengers that were on the run from Norman Osborn. She kept it at the hanger situated in Captain America's old headquarters that was hidden. (New Avengers v1 #52) The New Avengers used the jet to get to New Orleans to stop the Hood from claiming the Eye of Agamotto with the plane being shot down by Madame Masque's rocket launcher.
