N708US

This entry documents airframe N708US, a Boeing-built narrow-body jet registered in the United States. The airframe is a Boeing 727-295 completed in 1967, carrying manufacturer serial number 19449. Its civil registration status is US, and the airframe history includes standard registry recording consistent with a long-service airframe from the late 1960s. Registered in the United States, the airframe reflects the condition and valuation considerations typical for early-generation tri-jet transports of its era.

The airframe is outfitted as a single-aisle transport with a cabin described for a typical two-class layout accommodating approximately 145 passengers, while higher-density one-class layouts could be configured to approximately 189 passengers; the published seating for this example is 149. Typical mission profiles compatible with the airframe’s published performance include short- to medium-range trunk routes within the 2,600 nm range at cruise speeds near 495 kts and operating altitudes up to 35,000 ft. Avionics fit, interior refurbishment history, and specific operator base for this individual registration are not published; maintenance considerations reflect the original tri-engine architecture and the specific Pratt & Whitney JT8D-15 propulsion package.

As a member of the Boeing 727 family, the Boeing 727-295 configuration embodied a late-1960s design niche emphasizing short- to medium-range high-frequency route performance with a three-engine layout. The combination of three JT8D-15 powerplants producing 17,400 lbf each, a cruise of 495 kts, and a service ceiling of 35,000 ft defines its operational envelope. Seating flexibility from roughly 145 in two-class to about 189 in higher-density one-class layouts underlines the platform’s adaptability to varying capacity requirements. For operators and secondary-market buyers, the aircraft’s 1967 build year and legacy systems shape maintenance, refurbishment, and resale considerations.
