Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N359SW, is a Boeing-built Boeing 737-300 (737-3H4) delivered in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 26596. The airframe is recorded in corporate ownership under Xtreme Aviation (type: corporation); no additional public details on base of operations or prior operators are published. The airframe carries a United States registry (US) and is equipped and configured consistent with high-density -300 examples; specific recent valuation or condition reports are not published. Notable registry actions or transactional history beyond the current corporate ownership are not published.

The aircraft is fitted in a high-density single-class cabin layout typical of -300 operators, accommodating up to 149 passengers and optimized for short- to medium-haul revenue missions. Specific avionics suite details and interior refurbishment status are not published; the layout suggests minimal galley and lavatory footprints consistent with high-density operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include dense short-haul mainline or charter services where seat capacity and frequency are prioritized over premium seating. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the 737-300 family norms—aging airframe inspections and CFM56-3B1 engine shop intervals drive operational planning—though no aircraft-specific maintenance records are published.

The Boeing 737-300 (737-3H4) is part of the Classic 737 family, positioned historically as a reliable short- to medium-range narrowbody with proven operational economics for high-utilization operators. In the current market it competes against regional jets and newer single-aisle types offering improved fuel burn; demand for high-density 737-300s typically comes from charter operators, secondary carriers, or cargo convertors seeking low acquisition costs and high seat density. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on lifecycle engine maintenance for the CFM56-3B1, structural fatigue monitoring for a 1992 build, and potential retrofit costs for modern avionics or interior upgrades when transitioning between operators.
