N144DC

This airframe, bearing registration N144DC, is a Boeing 757-225 built in 1982 with manufacturer serial number 22191. The airframe is recorded as owned by L-3 CAPITAL LLC, an LLC based in Kalispell, MT, US, and carries a US registration. The record for this specific aircraft highlights a long service life consistent with early-production 757s and registration and ownership under a corporate LLC, which can reflect corporate, charter, or asset-management uses. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided data set.

The subject aircraft, with a certificated seating capacity of 178, would typically be configured for single-aisle short- to medium-haul operations consistent with the 757-200 family. Cabin layout possibilities span higher-density single-class arrangements to mixed business/economy configurations; the provided dataset specifies only total seats rather than specific cabin classes. Avionics fits are not listed here, but operational use likely reflects early-series 757 avionics with possible upgrades over time under corporate stewardship. Route profiles enabled by a 3,900 nm range and 458 kts cruise make this airframe suitable for transcontinental U.S. services and thinner long-range sectors; maintenance considerations would follow late-model large narrowbody practices given its 1982 build year and Rolls-Royce RB211 powerplants.

The Boeing 757-225 occupies a performance niche between regional narrowbodies and larger twin-aisles, valued for payload-range flexibility and runway performance. Competing types in secondary markets and charter operations include earlier Airbus A321 variants and modern regional-range narrowbodies; the 757’s appeal often hinges on its higher payload and range relative to similar-sized aircraft. For buyers and operators considering a 1982-built airframe like serial 22191, key considerations include engine shop visits for the RB211-535E4 units, structural and systems life-limit inspections, and the impact of corporate ownership and registry status on resale or lease opportunities.
