N851L

The airframe bearing tail number N851L is a Boeing-built short‑haul jet, a Boeing 737-219(Adv) completed in 1982 with manufacturer's serial number 22657. Its certificate and title history show ownership by the leasing company International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC); other operator specifics and home-base assignments are not published. The aircraft carries a US registration and has been managed within a commercial leasing fleet rather than a single airline operator, a fact reflected in its corporate ownership record. Details on notable registry actions, exact valuation, and current condition are not published.

The cabin of this airframe conforms to a 130-seat single-class (airline Y configuration for 737-200 variants listed) layout, reflecting a high-density short- to medium-haul passenger fit typical of late-model 737-200 series derivatives. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems for this individual ship are not published, and typical mission profiles would be regional point-to-point services operated by lessees or airlines under short- to medium-range schedules. Maintenance and assignment were carried out under corporate lease management by International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), which typically places such airframes with carriers requiring dense single-class seating; long-term storage, heavy maintenance checks, and transfer between operators would be handled through ILFC’s remarketing and technical oversight programs. Any unique cabin amenities beyond the standard 737-200 airframe configuration are not published.

The Boeing 737-219(Adv) sits within the 737-200 family as an early-generation, twin‑engine narrowbody optimized for frequent short-haul rotations with modest runway performance advantages for older airports. It competes historically with first-generation regional jets and turboprops in capacity and operating economics but is outmatched by newer 737 Classic/NG variants on fuel efficiency. Buyer and charter demand for individual vintage 737-200 airframes has been limited in recent decades, and resale/maintenance considerations for this serial — under corporate lease ownership at International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) — are governed by aging‑fleet factors, parts availability, and regulatory noise/emissions constraints.
