N624RH

This article describes a single Boeing 707 airframe, registered as N624RH, built in 1968 with manufacturer's serial number 19624. The airframe is a Boeing 707-338C and is recorded as owned and operated by Omega Aerial Refueling Services / Omega Air Inc, a corporation based in San Antonio, TX, US. Registration is listed as US. Notable registry actions: Not published. Valuation and detailed condition highlights: Not published.

The subject airframe, N624RH, configured on the Pratt & Whitney JT3D-3B powerplant, is operated from the owner’s base in San Antonio, Texas, and is suited to long-range fixed-wing multi-engine operations consistent with its 5,750 nm ferry or mission radius and a cruise speed of 525 kts. Cabin layout and seat count for this specific aircraft are not published; however, as a variant of the -338C freighter/convertible family, this airframe typically supports mixed cargo or missionized interiors depending on operator fit. Avionics fit and refurbishment status for N624RH are not published. Typical mission profiles for the current owner would center on aerial refueling support, long-range logistical movements, and special mission roles that utilize the 707 airframe’s endurance and payload capabilities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the vintage 1968 manufacture date and multi-engine jet complexity, including support for older JT3D turbofan systems and structural inspection regimes appropriate to older widebody-converted types.

The Boeing 707-338C occupies a historical performance niche as an early long-range jetliner and convertible freighter/tanker platform, offering cruise capability near 525 kts and high-endurance missions to approximately 5,750 nm. Contemporary competing models in the charter and tanker retrofit market include later-generation narrowbody freighter conversions and specialized tanker platforms, which can offer modern avionics and fuel efficiency improvements. Buyer and charter demand for legacy 707 airframes is typically specialized—focused on niche roles such as aerial refueling, VIP conversion, or cargo tasks—while maintenance and resale considerations center on parts availability, JT3D engine support, and airframe life-management for a 1968-built aircraft.
