N7209U

This airframe, registered as N7209U, is a Boeing-built Boeing 720-022 completed in 1960 with manufacturer serial number 17915. The aircraft’s documented ownership history culminates with last registration to Aeromar Líneas Aéreas Dominicanas, an airline/corporation based in the Dominican Republic, which is identified as the last registered operator. The airframe is U.S.-registered and is catalogued in the fixed-wing multi-engine category, with its configuration and usage reflecting typical short- to medium-range passenger charters and coach operations. Public valuation details are not published; condition highlights are limited to the supplied registration and configuration data.

The cabin on this specific Boeing 720-022 is noted as a typical 143-seat single-aisle passenger layout, a configuration commonly used in charter and coach roles by its operators. Operating profiles for this airframe would have emphasized medium-haul schedules within its 3,680 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 540 kts, suitable for transcontinental sectors and dense short- to medium-haul point-to-point charters. As a U.S.-registered airframe operated last by an airline in the Dominican Republic, maintenance and operational oversight would follow U.S. registration requirements while meeting the practical demands of high-utilization passenger services. No bespoke cabin amenities or avionics fit were specified for this individual serial.

The Boeing 720-022 belongs to the Boeing 720 family, a derivative of the 707 optimized for shorter runways and medium-range missions, filling a niche between long-haul jets and regional turbofan types. With four Pratt & Whitney JT3C-7 engines producing 12,000 lbf each, the platform emphasized speed and altitude performance (up to 42,000 ft) at a typical cruise of 540 kts, but it faced competition from newer twin-engine designs offering better fuel efficiency. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like this historically favors operators needing rugged, higher-capacity short- to medium-range lift; resale and maintenance considerations center on aging airframe support, engine overhauls, and parts availability given its vintage 1960 manufacture date.
