N264LM

This article concerns airframe N264LM, a Boeing-built airliner completed in 1995 with manufacturer serial number 26604. The airframe is a Boeing 737-400 variant registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by MIDNIGHT ENGINEERING LLC of Fort Lauderdale, FL, US; this ownership entry is the principal documented custodial detail for the airframe. The aircraft is operated in a fixed-wing, multi-engine category and retains a high-density passenger configuration as reported. Valuation and condition summaries for this specific airframe are Not published.

The airframe is configured in a high-density passenger layout with a reported capacity of 149 seats, indicating a focus on short- to medium-haul revenue operations or high-density charter work. With a cruise speed of 485 knots and a manufacturer-stated range of 2,060 nautical miles, typical mission profiles for this aircraft would encompass domestic transcontinental or regional trunk routes within the contiguous United States when operated from its recorded base in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US. The twin CFM56-3C1 turbofan installation supports conventional maintenance practices associated with the 737-400 family; any specific cabin amenities, avionics fit, or unique equipment for this particular airframe are Not published. Maintenance considerations follow the older-generation narrowbody cycle and support environment characteristic of 1990s Boeing 737 Classics.

The Boeing 737-400 occupies the 737 Classic family niche as a medium-capacity, short- to medium-range narrowbody, offering a higher-density seating option compared with earlier 737-300s and later Next-Generation models. With two CFM56-3C1 engines delivering 23,515 lbf each and a service ceiling of 37,000 feet, the type competes historically with other medium-capacity types of its era; in contemporary secondary markets, demand trends and resale considerations are affected by age, seat-density configurations (here 149 seats), and engine-model supportability. Buyers and operators of examples like N264LM typically weigh the aircraft’s remaining structural life, parts availability for the Classic series, and mission suitability given its 2,060 nm range and high-density cabin.
