N963CA

This airframe, registered as N963CA, is a Boeing 757-223 built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 32381. The airframe is listed in the US registry under ownership by AC SPE 7 LLC, an Orlando-based limited liability company (Orlando, FL, US), reflecting the latest known corporate custodian. The airframe carries a US registration and is identified by its construction and engine fit as a mid-life 757-200 series freighter/large narrowbody convertible candidate in commercial and charter markets. Acquisition by AC SPE 7 LLC represents the most recent documented ownership entry for this specific tail number.

The reported cabin for this specific Boeing 757-223 is approximately 176–178 seats, with an example operator listing of about 16 Business / 160 Economy, indicating a high-density single-aisle long-range passenger layout. With a range of 3,900 nm and a cruise speed near 458 kts, the airframe is typically employed on transcontinental U.S. routes and medium-haul international sectors where a mix of premium and economy seating is required. Based in Orlando by corporate ownership, the aircraft’s mission profile under this ownership is consistent with charter, ACMI, or airline lease operations rather than dedicated short-haul commuter service. The twin RB-211 series engines denote a maintenance and support regime aligned with Rolls-Royce service networks and established spares pools for the 757 fleet.

The Boeing 757-223 occupies a performance niche as a narrowbody overlong-range airliner offering higher payload and range than smaller single-aisles, making it attractive for transcontinental and thinner long-range markets. Competing models historically include stretched narrowbodies and smaller widebodies for similar missions; however, the 757’s unique field performance and runway capabilities sustain demand among operators seeking performance over seat count. Buyer and charter demand for individual 757 airframes hinges on seating configuration (here ~176–178 seats), engine type (RB-211 series), and remaining structural hours; these factors also drive maintenance, parts availability, and resale valuation considerations for this airframe.
