N572AA

The airframe, registered as N572AA, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) built in 1987 with manufacturer serial number 49458. The airframe is recorded as owned by 727X AEROSPACE CORP, a corporation based in Lewes, DE, US, and it carries a US registration and fixed‑wing multi‑engine category designation. The airframe’s current documented configuration is a high‑density single‑class 172‑seat layout, a detail noted in the registry as the registered configuration. Public registry entries indicate standard commercial configuration and ownership transfer history consistent with corporate operator holdings, but no separate recent valuation or condition dossier is published.

The aircraft is configured in a high‑density single‑class cabin carrying 172 seats, reflecting a layout optimized for short‑ to medium‑haul revenue missions or high‑capacity charter operations. Avionics fitment is typical of MD‑83 examples of the late 1980s vintage unless modified by the owner; specific retrofit or avionics upgrade records are not published in the provided data. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 2,500 nm range and 472 kt cruise, would include domestic and near‑international trunk routes or dense shuttle services from its owner’s operational base in Lewes, Delaware. Maintenance considerations center on aging JT8D‑219 turbofan support and tail‑specific structural and systems checks typical for airframes of this production year.

The McDonnell Douglas MD‑83 (DC‑9‑83) occupies a performance niche as a single‑aisle, medium‑capacity airliner whose strengths include straightforward systems and robust short‑field performance relative to contemporaries. Competing models for replacement or secondary‑market buyers include later-generation narrowbodies offering improved fuel burn and avionics. Buyer and charter demand for this specific airframe type tends to be driven by low‑cost, high‑density operations or conversion markets, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on JT8D engine support, airframe hours, and any supplemental upgrade histories recorded by the owner.
