N461FT

This airframe, N461FT, is a Boeing KC-46A Pegasus (767-2C / 767-2LKC) built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 41273. It remains owned by The Boeing Company (a corporation based in Renton, WA, US) and is registered in the US. The airframe’s provenance reflects continuous manufacturer ownership since build, with entry into the US civil/military registry under Boeing control and no public record of later transfer. At an estimated market valuation of $287,000,000, the aircraft is valued consistent with new-build strategic tanker/transport configurations and is maintained in line with corporate preservation and demonstration roles.

The KC-46A airframe is configured with a crew complement of two pilots plus a boom operator and carries passenger accommodation typically up to 58 in standard layouts; it also supports cargo roles accommodating up to 18 × 463L pallets or aeromedical configurations. Cabin arrangements for this airframe allow flexible conversion between passenger, cargo and aeromedical missions, with seating and pallet capacity as primary determinants of load planning. Typical mission profiles for this type of aircraft—reflecting this specific hull—include long-range tanker and transport sorties within the rated 6,385 nm range and operations from continental US bases, consistent with the owner location in Renton, WA. Maintenance considerations are governed by large-airframe multi-role tanker standards and Pratt & Whitney PW4000-series engine support.

The Boeing KC-46A Pegasus (767-2C / 767-2LKC) occupies the fixed-wing multi-engine tanker/strategic transport niche, offering a wide range and multi-role cabin flexibility compared with dedicated narrowbody freighters or tanker conversions. Competing platforms include other tanker/transport derivatives and converted wide- and narrow-body freighters; buyer demand is largely government and large-corporate demonstration or contractor operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe prioritize airframe/engine hours, modification status for tanker systems, and the aircraft’s remaining service life relative to its 2014 build year and estimated valuation.
