N43PR

This article covers airframe N43PR, a Boeing-built VIP-configured Boeing 737-700 BBJ delivered in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 28581. The airframe is registered in the United States as N43PR and is recorded as owned by the corporation TOWN AND COUNTRY FOOD MARKETS INC of Wichita, KS, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this registration. The airframe retains its original Boeing lineage as a 737-75V and is certificated for 149 seats, though it has been reported in VIP executive BBJ layout and commonly reconfigured for executive use. No other public registry events are published in the supplied data; the airframe is valued as of the supplied record at $37,250,000.

The cabin is reported as a VIP executive BBJ layout with the airframe remaining certificated for 149 seats but typically reconfigured for executive transport, commonly accommodating 8–19 passengers in bespoke interiors. Specific avionics fit is not published in the provided data; operationally this airframe’s profile supports long‑range executive missions enabled by a 5,735 nm ferry capability and cruise speeds around 473 kts. Based on the owner and registration, routine operations and maintenance are conducted under U.S. registry and corporate flight department oversight from Wichita, KS, US. The two CFM56-7B engines with 26,400 lbf thrust each represent a common and well-supported powerplant choice but also focus maintenance planning on shop visit cycles typical for BBJ derivatives.

The Boeing 737-700 BBJ (737-75V) occupies the niche for long‑range single‑aisle corporate airliners, offering intercontinental capability on a flexible platform, here exemplified by a 5,735 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing in the large business jet and corporate airliner sector, this BBJ variant appeals to buyers seeking a wide, customizable VIP cabin combined with the operational familiarity of the 737 family. Market and resale considerations for this airframe include the preserved 737 commonality, the value impact of VIP reconfiguration versus the certificated 149-seat layout, and lifecycle maintenance of the CFM56-7B engines in balancing operational availability against overhaul costs.
