N9616G

This entry documents airframe N9616G, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) built in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 53563. The airframe is registered in the US and is currently owned by Jetran LLC, an LLC based in Horseshoe Bay, TX, US. The record for this specific airframe highlights its late-1990s build standard and ownership by a U.S.-based corporate operator; no additional public notations of extraordinary damage history or major special missions are included in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

The airframe carries a cabin capacity described as a typical single-class installation of up to 172 seats, though mixed two-class or alternate one-class layouts were used in airline service for the model. Operated from a U.S. base tied to its owner in Horseshoe Bay, TX, US, the aircraft’s endurance and cruise performance—2,504 nm range at 438 kts cruise—position it for short- to medium-range passenger missions within domestic or regional markets. The installed powerplants, a pair of Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 engines rated at 21,000 lbf thrust each, drive operational and maintenance planning specific to the JT8D-219 type. Cabin fit and specific avionics or interior amenity details for this individual airframe are not published in the provided data.

As a member of the MD-80 family, the MD-83 (DC-9-83) variant represented a higher-thrust, higher-capacity configuration with the dimensions and systems reflected by this airframe’s 172-seat layout, 37,000 ft ceiling capability, and 438 kts cruise speed. The combination of a 1997 build date and the JT8D-219 powerplants informs maintenance planning and potential resale considerations for operators and buyers assessing age-related component life limits and engine-specific support. Demand outlooks and specific secondary-market valuations for this aircraft are not published in the supplied dataset.
