N826VV

The airframe bearing tail number N826VV is a McDonnell Douglas widebody originally built in 1980 with manufacturer serial number 47826. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the corporation OMEGA AIR INC, based in San Antonio, TX, US; ownership is recorded to that corporate entity. Registry status is listed as US registration, and public valuation or formal condition reporting for this specific airframe is Not published. The record focuses on this single airframe rather than fleet histories or prior operators.

The interior of this McDonnell Douglas DC-10 configuration is set to accommodate 345 seats, reflecting a high-density cabin layout suitable for medium- to long-range operations within the aircraft's 5,000 nm capability. With a cruise speed of 490 kts and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft, the airframe is capable of sustained cruise performance consistent with long-stage sectors. The owner/operator base listed as OMEGA AIR INC in San Antonio, TX, US indicates maintenance and operational control under that corporate registration; ownership is held by a corporation based in San Antonio. Specific avionics fit, cabin classes, or special amenities for this individual airframe are Not published. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft would be guided by the three Pratt & Whitney JT9D-59A engines and the airframe's 1980 manufacture date.

The airframe is an example of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 family built by McDonnell Douglas, a three‑engine, fixed‑wing multi‑engine design that occupies a niche for medium- to long-range widebody operations. The combination of three Pratt & Whitney JT9D-59A powerplants at 53,000 lbf thrust each, a 5,000 nm range and substantial seating for 345 positions this model toward high-capacity routes where runway and weight considerations accommodate tri-jet operations. Given the airframe's 1980 manufacture year, operators and buyers typically weigh maintenance, parts support and lifecycle costs heavily when assessing resale or continued operation of similar DC-10 airframes.
