N967TW

This airframe, registered as N967TW, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 53617. Ownership is recorded to JETRAN LLC, a corporation based in Horseshoe Bay, TX, which is the listed owner and operator/home base for the aircraft. The registration is listed as US, and the airframe carries the late-1990s MD-80 series configuration and equipment consistent with its build year. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data; notable registry actions include the documented ownership by JETRAN LLC and continued registration under U.S. registry.

The cabin is configured as a 172-seat single-class (airline layout), reflecting a high-density passenger role typical for short- to medium-haul airline operations. With a cruise speed of 440 kts and a range of 2,500 nm, this specific MD-83 is suited to point-to-point routes within continental distances, operated from its Horseshoe Bay, TX-based owner/operator. The twin Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 powerplants, each rated at 21,000 lbf, define the aircraft’s performance envelope and maintenance profile. No additional in-service equipment, avionics fit, or unique interior amenities are published for this airframe in the supplied data, and maintenance considerations should follow standard MD-80 series practices for JT8D-equipped, high-density-configured aircraft.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) occupies a late-20th-century narrow-body, medium-capacity niche with reliable cruise and range characteristics reflected in this airframe’s 440 kts cruise and 2,500 nm range. Competing models historically include other narrow-body short- to medium-range jets offering similar seat counts; demand for MD-80 series airframes tends toward operators seeking high-density seating and commonality within the DC-9/MD-80 family. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (53617) and engine type emphasize JT8D lifecycle and parts support, and ownership by JETRAN LLC situates the aircraft within U.S. commercial or corporate airline operations.
