N752DH

This airframe, registered as N752DH, is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 1981 with manufacturer serial number 22466. The airframe is a Boeing 727-223(Adv) (freighter) variant and carries a US registration; its current recorded owner is Kalitta Charters II LLC, a corporation based in Ypsilanti, MI. The type is operated in a cargo configuration following a main-deck freighter conversion, and public records indicate it is maintained as a fixed-wing multi-engine cargo asset. Registration and ownership are recorded under the United States registry with the corporate owner listed in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

The cabin of this airframe has been configured as a freighter conversion with main-deck cargo and no passenger cabin, reflecting its dedicated cargo role and omission of typical passenger accommodations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-range freight haul operations within the airframe’s approximate 2,600 nm range and cruise speed near 495 kts, operating up to a service ceiling of 37,000 ft. As a three-engine 727 series freighter powered by Pratt & Whitney JT8D-15 engines, maintenance considerations focus on aging JT8D engine support and airframe systems consistent with a 1981-build aircraft. Operator base activity is tied to the listed corporate owner in Ypsilanti, MI, which provides the registry home and administrative operator address.

The Boeing 727-223(Adv) (freighter) occupies a niche for rugged medium-range cargo operations where main-deck loading and older but proven airframes are acceptable. Competing models in similar roles historically include other converted narrow-body freighters; demand is typically driven by specialized cargo operators and charters able to support older three-engine types. Maintenance and resale considerations emphasize parts availability for the JT8D-15 engines and structural life of a 1981 serial 22466 airframe, factors that influence continuing operational economics and secondary market interest.
