Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N1487A, a Boeing-built freighter originally completed in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 28865. The airframe is a converted freighter listed as a Boeing 767-31K/ER (BDSF converted freighter) and is registered in the US. Ownership is held by ANDROMEDA LEASING I LLC, an LLC based in Purchase, NY, US, which appears as the current lessor/owner on record. Notable registry actions and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data; the airframe’s documented highlights center on its freighter conversion and lease-holding ownership structure.
The aircraft is configured under a BDSF side-of-body freighter conversion; main-deck cargo - no passenger cabin seats, indicating primary operation as a main-deck cargo carrier rather than a passenger transport. Avionics fit and operator assignments are not published in the provided data; however, the aircraft’s systems and maintenance considerations would center on freighter-specific modifications associated with the BDSF conversion and ongoing lease management by ANDROMEDA LEASING I LLC. Typical mission profile for this airframe, as implied by its conversion and fuel/range performance, is medium- to long-range cargo operations within the aircraft’s published range and cruise performance envelope. Owner location in Purchase, NY, US establishes the lessor’s administrative base but does not by itself denote the aircraft’s operational home base.
The airframe belongs to the Boeing 767 family as a Boeing 767-31K/ER (BDSF converted freighter), offering a combination of transcontinental and extended-range capability signaled by a 5,990 nm range, 470 kts cruise and 43,000 ft ceiling. Its twin GE CF6-80C2B7F engines provide the rated thrust for cargo missions. Within the freighter market, this specific configuration and conversion status influence buyer and lessor interest, while maintenance and resale considerations are shaped by the airframe’s 1997 build year, conversion to main-deck cargo use, and current leaseholder structure.
