N516EA

This airframe, registered as N516EA, is a Boeing 757-225 built by Boeing in 1984 with manufacturer serial number 22206. The airframe has been associated with ownership by Eastern Air Lines (corporation) based in the United States, and its formal registration is US. As a single specific 757-225 hull, it carries the typical lifecycle markers of a late-1980s narrow-body jet—documented build data and civil registration—without additional public record of subsequent operators or re-registrations in the provided data set.

The airframe is configured for a Typical 2-class/short‑to‑medium haul passenger layout (airline-dependent; commonly 170–230 seats) and is represented here with 200 seats, aligning it with mixed-density short- to medium-haul services. With a cruise speed of 458 kts and a maximum practical range of 3,905 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental or thin long-haul trunk routes where single-aisle economics are required. The twin Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 powerplants inform routine heavy-maintenance and shop visit planning for operators, with parts and support considerations typical for RB211-equipped 757s. Based on the provided ownership data, operational basing and maintenance activity would be centered in the United States under corporate oversight.

The Boeing 757-225 occupies a performance niche as a mid-capacity, longer-range narrow-body aircraft, capable of higher cruise speeds and greater payload-range than many contemporary single-aisle types. With a service ceiling of 42,000 ft and the specified range, it competes functionally with refreshed narrow-body variants and certain smaller twin-aisle regional options. Demand from buyers and charter operators historically focuses on its payload-range flexibility and runway performance; resale and maintenance considerations concentrate on RB211 engine support and airframe age for a 1984 build, factors that affect long-term operational cost and marketability.
