N833US

This airframe, registered as N833US, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-88(SF) built in 1991 by McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Co with manufacturer serial number 53215. The aircraft is owned and operated by USA Jet Airlines Inc, a corporation based in Belleville, Michigan, United States, and carries United States registration. The type has undergone a freighter conversion reflected in its (SF) designation and is deployed in cargo operations under its current corporate ownership. Registry and valuation specifics beyond registration and ownership were not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is configured as a freighter following an SF conversion, yielding a cargo-centric cabin layout rather than passenger seating. Avionics fit and detailed interior cargo handling equipment were not published in the supplied data; however, the MD-88(SF) designation denotes modification for freight operations and associated structural and interior adaptations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe involve short- to medium-range cargo sectors consistent with its 2,055 nm range and cruise speed of 450 kts, operating from the operator’s base in Belleville, Michigan. Maintenance considerations reflect its age as a 1991-built airframe and the common support requirements for Pratt & Whitney JT8D-series engines.

The MD-88 airframe family occupies a niche as an older, medium-capacity narrow-body type repurposed in many cases for freight work; the SF conversion is a recognized pathway to extend operational utility. Competing models in the freighter-converted narrow-body market include other legacy twinjets converted to freighter roles, where buyer demand centers on cost-effective cargo capacity rather than new-production efficiency. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe hinge on its 1991 manufacture date, JT8D-219 engine supportability, and the airframe’s documented conversion to a freighter configuration.
