N708AA

This airframe, registered as N708AA, is a Boeing 727-223(Adv) constructed in 1981 with manufacturer's serial number 22465. The airframe is documented as owned by World Aviation Services LLC, a corporation based in Medley, FL, US, and carries a United States registration. The type has been converted for freighter use and is recorded in corporate ownership rather than airline operation, indicating a post-passenger-service lifecycle and specialized utilization. Condition highlights for this particular airframe are limited to its freighter configuration and corporate ownership; no separate valuation or recent major registry actions are provided in the supplied data.

This airframe operates with a freighter cabin layout, having been converted from its original passenger interior to a cargo configuration and thus optimized for freight missions rather than passenger service. Avionics fit is not specified in the available data; typical 727-200Adv conversions retain legacy flight decks with modifications as required for cargo operations and regulatory compliance. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include regional to transcontinental cargo sectors within the aircraft’s 2,600 nm range and at cruise speeds around 470 kts, operating out of its owner’s base in Medley, Florida for ad hoc charters or scheduled freight services. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on aging JT8D engines and structural checks consistent with an airframe built in 1981, along with freighter-specific modifications such as cargo door integrity and floor reinforcement.

The Boeing 727-223(Adv) family occupies a niche as a medium-haul, tri-jet freighter and passenger airframe that historically bridged regional and domestic routes where short-field performance and runway flexibility were valued. Competing models in the market niche have included twin-engine narrowbodies and smaller dedicated freighters; however, the 727’s three-engine layout and robust structure made it a popular conversion candidate in the late 20th century. Buyer and charter demand for converted 727 freighters tends to focus on operators needing high-volume cargo capacity with relatively low acquisition cost, while maintenance and resale considerations emphasize JT8D engine support, structural fatigue inspections, and regulatory compliance for older avionics and noise/emissions standards.
