N1427A

This airframe, registered as N1427A, is a Boeing 767-306ER (BCF) built in 1996 with manufacturer serial number 28098. The frame is owned by ANDROMEDA LEASING I LLC (an LLC based in Purchase, NY, US) and carries a United States registration. The airliner was completed by The Boeing Company and later converted to a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) configuration, a notable modification that transformed its role from passenger to main-deck pallet/containerized cargo operations. Public valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this specific registration.

As a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF), N1427A features a main deck arranged for pallet and containerized cargo rather than passenger seating, enabling operations on long-haul freight routes. Typical mission profiles capitalize on its extended-range freighter conversion, carrying volumetric cargo loads on transcontinental and transoceanic sectors consistent with a range capability of 5,990 nm and a cruise speed near 470 kts. The aircraft’s twin GE CF6-80C2B6F engines provide the necessary high-thrust performance for heavy payloads and extended climb and cruise requirements up to a service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Operator base and day-to-day dispatch are linked to the lessor’s US registration and Purchase, New York association; specific commercial operators or lessee changes beyond the registered owner are not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow BCF conversion standards, including main-deck cargo handling systems and freighter-specific inspections instituted after conversion.

The Boeing 767-300ER platform occupies a niche between narrowbodies and larger widebodies, offering long-range capability and efficient twin-engine operation attractive to cargo operators converting older passenger frames. In freighter configuration, the 767-300ER competes with other mid-size freighters and newer converted types for feeder and long-range express freight markets. Buyer demand for converted 767-300ERs often hinges on airframe hours, remaining structural life, and engine cycles; the presence of GE CF6-80C2B6F engines and the documented conversion to BCF are key factors in maintenance planning and resale considerations for N1427A.
