N757A

This airframe, registered as N757A, is a Boeing-built Boeing 757-200 completed in 1982 with manufacturer serial number 22212. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation BOEING LOGISTICS SPARES INC located in Seattle, WA, US, with a US registration. The airframe has been adapted from original passenger configuration and modified for testbed use with a simulated fighter cockpit and instrumentation, a notable change in its operational role and registry history. Current recorded valuation is $11,830,000, reflecting its specialized configuration and condition as a testbed/utility asset.

The cabin of this specific airframe has been extensively reworked: the original passenger seating has been removed or repurposed and the interior is modified for testbed use with instrumentation and a simulated fighter cockpit, supporting bench testing, instrumentation arrays, and mission-specific installations rather than standard airline service. Avionics and onboard systems are oriented toward flight-test and systems-evaluation missions consistent with a modified testbed role; original passenger cabin amenities are not retained in typical configuration. Operated from its corporate owner’s home base in Seattle, WA, US, the airframe would typically fly range-limited sorties within its maximum range and endurance envelope to support development, evaluation, and logistics-support tasks. Maintenance considerations reflect its dual heritage as a former passenger jet and a corporate test asset, with structural and systems work guided by its modified interior and mission fit.

This airframe belongs to the Boeing 757-200 family produced by Boeing, a fixed-wing multi-engine category type with medium-long range capability and a cruise speed of 458 kts and service ceiling of 42,000 ft. With seating capacity recorded at 178 and a range of 3,920 nm, the platform serves a performance niche combining transcontinental capability and high cruise speed. Market and maintenance considerations for this particular airframe reflect its specialized testbed interior and corporate ownership, which influence valuation, resale prospects, and modification costs relative to standard passenger-configured examples.
