Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N763MA, is a Boeing C-135FR built by the Boeing Company in 1964 with USAF serial 63-12737. Ownership is held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. Operator, home base, and detailed registry action history are Not published for this specific airframe. Condition highlights and formal valuation figures are Not published; available technical and capacity data reflect a multi-role fixed-wing platform configured for a three-person crew.

The cabin is configured for a three-member flight crew comprising pilot, copilot, boom operator, reflecting a specialized operational arrangement rather than a transport passenger layout. Avionics fit, standard mission equipment and passenger accommodations are Not published for this specific airframe; maintenance records and specifics of onboard systems are likewise Not published. Typical mission profiles and routing for this airframe are not formally documented in the supplied data, but the listed cruise speed and range indicate suitability for long transcontinental or extended maritime sorties within the aircraft’s operational envelope. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe hinge on its four high-bypass turbofan engines and airframe age; detailed service history and schedule are Not published.

The Boeing C-135FR represents a long-serving fixed-wing, multi-engine platform with high-altitude capability to 50,000 ft and transoceanic range near 2,935 nm, placing it in a niche for long-endurance, specialized missions rather than commercial passenger service. Competing platforms in mission roles with similar speed and ceiling capabilities deploy turbofan powerplants in four-engine and twin-engine configurations; buyer and charter demand for this airframe type is typically driven by specialized military, governmental, or corporate trust ownership patterns rather than general aviation markets. Maintenance and resale considerations emphasize airframe age (built 1964), lifecycle status of legacy systems, and the continuing support footprint for the CFM56/F108 engine family.
