N571RA

This airframe, registered as N571RA, is a Boeing 757-23P (757-200) built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 30060. It is powered by 2× PW2000-series engines and carries the United States registration US. The airframe is owned by GALACTIC HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, reflecting a corporate ownership model common for 757s configured for high-utilization or charter roles. Maintenance and registry records indicate a standard commercial-to-corporate transition in ownership typical of late-1990s 757s.

Configured for a maximum of 178 seats, this airframe is representative of single-aisle, medium-haul passenger layouts used for dense coach configurations or high-capacity charter work. Based on ownership in Wilmington, DE, operations are likely managed under corporate oversight with maintenance tracked to U.S. regulatory standards; typical mission profiles include transcontinental and extended overwater sectors enabled by a 3,900 nm range and 458 kt cruise speed. Avionics on 757-200s of this vintage are commonly a mix of original flight decks with periodic avionics upgrades; maintenance considerations center on PW2000-series engine shop intervals and structural fatigue inspections for a 1999-build airframe. Cabin amenities and interior fit can vary widely with fit-outs ranging from high-density economy to VIP conversions; specific interior finish for this tail is not published beyond seat count.

The Boeing 757-200 family occupies a niche for long-range narrow-body roles with higher payload and runway performance than contemporary single-aisles, making it competitive against early-generation A321s and high-capacity Airbus or Boeing narrow-bodies in the used market. With a cruise of 458 kts and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft, the type remains attractive for transcontinental and thin long-range routes, though resale and maintenance considerations increasingly factor in age-related inspections, PW2000 engine support, and retrofit costs for modern avionics and cabin systems. Demand in charter and cargo conversion markets helps sustain secondary values for well-maintained airframes from this production era.
