N444HE

This airframe, registered as N444HE, is a Boeing 737-300 built in 1987 with manufacturer serial number 23800. The airframe is recorded as owned by CSC DELAWARE TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a US registration. The airliner was originally delivered as a line 737-300 and later underwent a post-airline VIP conversion to an executive interior, a notable lifecycle change in its operational history. Registry records emphasize its trust-held ownership structure rather than an individual or airline operator, and available information highlights its configuration change from revenue passenger service to a VIP executive role rather than indications of recent heavy maintenance status or valuation.

The aircraft operates with a VIP executive cabin following its conversion from airline layout, indicating a reconfigured interior focused on private or corporate transport rather than high-density commercial seating. Typical missions for this airframe type in VIP configuration include medium- to long-range executive travel within its certified 2,260 nm range and cruise operations near 430 kts at service ceilings up to 37,000 ft. As a trust-owned asset with an executive cabin, maintenance considerations emphasize cabin refurbishment cycles and supplemental systems for VIP amenities in addition to the standard airframe and powerplant upkeep for the twin CFM56-3 engines. Operator base is not published beyond the trustee’s location; movement and deployment likely follow charter, corporate, or private-owner itineraries rather than scheduled airline routes.

The Boeing 737-300 belongs to the Classic series of 737 family aircraft produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, occupying a performance niche for short- to medium-haul routes with moderate passenger capacity. Its competitors historically included similarly sized regional and thin-haul jets; in VIP market terms, the Classic 737s are often chosen for spacious cabin conversions when range and speed tradeoffs are acceptable. Buyer and charter demand for converted 737-300s hinges on interior condition and maintenance history; resale considerations often focus on remaining structural fatigue life, engine shop visits for CFM56-3 units, and the market appetite for older-generation narrowbodies in executive roles.
