N326TR

This airframe, registered as N326TR, is a Boeing 737-210C (737-200C) built in 1974 with manufacturer serial number 20917. The airframe is owned by TRANS EXECUTIVE AIRLINES OF HAWAII INC DBA of Honolulu, HI, US, and is registered in the US. As a freighter conversion of the 737-200/210C series, this specific aircraft’s history centers on cargo work under corporate ownership, with its registry and operator details reflecting sustained commercial utility rather than VIP or passenger use. Notable highlights for this airframe include its conversion to a freighter cabin configuration and long-term operation from a Hawaiian base, suggesting particular maintenance and operational considerations tied to tropical island operations.

The cabin of this airframe is a freighter conversion (737-200/210C), fitted to accommodate cargo pallet and container operations rather than passenger seating. Avionics fit is typical for the model and era, supporting standard airline transport operations consistent with the aircraft’s role in freight missions. Based in Honolulu, HI, US under TRANS EXECUTIVE AIRLINES OF HAWAII INC DBA, typical mission profiles would lean toward inter-island and regional freight routes where moderate range and rugged field performance are valued. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include systems and airframe age-related items common to 1970s-built airframes and the JT8D engine type, along with aspects specific to operations in a marine and island environment.

The Boeing 737-210C (737-200C) occupies a niche as a rugged, short-to-medium range twinjet capable of mixed passenger, combi, or freighter roles; this airframe’s freighter conversion emphasizes cargo utility. With twin Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17 powerplants and a 2,600 nm range at 417 kts cruise, the type is often chosen for short-haul, high-cycle freight work where runway performance and simple systems are advantageous. Competing models historically included turboprops and first-generation regional jets, while resale and maintenance considerations focus on vintage airframe logistics, parts availability for JT8D-series engines, and value implications of the freighter conversion.
