Model & Market Context
This airframe is registered as N560AA, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (DC-9-82) built in 1991 with manufacturer serial number 53090. It is recorded as owned by Pac Blue Aerospace, a corporate owner located in Fairbanks, AK, US, and carries a United States registration. Photographic records indicate the aircraft was operated in a high-density single-class layout during at least one operational phase; specific registry actions and valuation details for this airframe are not published in the provided data. The manufacturer is listed as McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Commercial Airplanes), which situates this airframe within the late-model DC-9/MD-80 production era.
The cabin for this specific MD-82 is a 5-abreast single-aisle arrangement and is documented in a typical high-density 172-seat single-class layout, with photographic records showing an American Airlines configuration. The twin Pratt & Whitney JT8D-217C engines and the aircraft’s specified cruise speed and range are consistent with short- to medium-haul fixed-wing multi-engine operations. Operator and base details recorded for this airframe identify corporate ownership in Fairbanks, AK, US, suggesting operations or storage under that ownership footprint; no additional operational routes, avionics fit, or unique onboard amenities are published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe are not provided in the available dataset.
This airframe belongs to the MD-80 family as identified by the designation MD-82 (DC-9-82) and the listed manufacturer McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Commercial Airplanes). The combination of a 172-seat high-density cabin, 2,050 nm range and cruise of 440 kts reflects the performance envelope for a late-model DC-9 derivative intended for dense short- to medium-range fixed-wing multi-engine service. Technical details supplied for this individual serial number emphasize configuration and propulsion choices relevant to operators and asset managers considering utilization, maintenance planning, or part-out options for similar MD-80 series airframes.
