Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N915UP in the US, is a Boeing-built freighter-class airliner completed in 1967 with manufacturer serial number 19533. The airframe is a Boeing 727-27C originally constructed by Boeing and is recorded as owned by United Parcel Service Co. (a corporation). The registration and ownership entries indicate corporate operation rather than private ownership; no additional operator base, lease history or re-registration events are published. Valuation and detailed condition reporting for this specific airframe are Not published.
Cabin layout and specific avionics fit for this airframe are Not published. The recorded owner, United Parcel Service Co., implies operation in a logistics and cargo mission profile consistent with corporate parcel transport, though explicit route structures and base of operations are Not published. Maintenance considerations specific to this individual aircraft are not detailed in the available data; given the airframe's age and three‑engine configuration, continued airworthiness would typically require an established maintenance program aligned with the type's legacy parts and overhaul needs. Unique amenities or retrofits for this tail number are Not published.
As a member of the Boeing 727 family, the Boeing 727-27C configuration reflects the three‑engine, narrow‑body design whose performance envelope for this airframe is summarized by a 2,400 nm range, 467 kt cruise and 43,000 ft service ceiling. These characteristics place it in a historical niche for medium‑range trunk cargo and passenger routes prior to widespread adoption of twin‑engine designs with greater fuel efficiency. Market considerations for an aging 1967 airframe include limited buyer demand, parts availability, and higher maintenance overhead compared to modern twins; such factors are salient for any prospective operator or lessor evaluating resale or continued service life.
