N884BA

This airframe, registered as N884BA, is a Boeing-built tanker/transport delivered in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 41983. It is a member of the Boeing KC-46A Pegasus program and carries the model designation Boeing KC-46A Pegasus (767-2C / 767-2LKC). The aircraft is owned by Boeing Co (a corporation based in Renton, WA, US) and remains registered in the US registry. Valuation and condition indicators list the platform at approximately $159,000,000, reflecting its role as a modern multi-role aerial refueling and transport asset.

The cabin of this KC-46A-configured airframe supports a mixed-role layout with a 35-seat configuration intended for transport and mission crew accommodations; seating is configured to support aerial refueling operations, cargo/passenger transport, and medical evacuation missions. Avionics and mission systems are consistent with the KC-46A fit, integrating refueling hardware and military-grade communications and situational awareness suites as supplied by the manufacturer. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-range tanker sorties and strategic transport runs benefiting from a maximum practical range of 6,385 nm and a cruise speed of 461 kts; operations are conducted from Boeing facilities and contractor-supporting bases associated with the owner in the United States. Maintenance considerations emphasize sustainment of the refueling boom systems, large-airframe structures derived from the 767 derivative, and the PW4062 engine program logistics.

The KC-46A Pegasus (767-2C / 767-2LKC) occupies a niche as a militarized derivative of the 767 family, balancing tanker capability with strategic airlift flexibility. Competing platforms in the aerial refueling and medium transport markets include converted widebody tankers and newer purpose-built tankers from other OEMs; demand is principally defense-driven rather than civilian charter. Resale and secondary-market considerations for this airframe type reflect high retainment by operators and prime contractors due to mission-specific equipment and certification, contributing to the aircraft’s substantial valuation and lifecycle maintenance commitments.
