Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N997DL, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-88 built in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 53364. The airframe is owned by Everts Air, a corporation based in the United States, and carries a US civil registration. Entered Everts Air's corporate fleet under United States registry; valuation and detailed condition reports are not published.
Specific cabin configuration and passenger seating for this individual airframe are not published. Avionics fit and interior refurbishment status for this serial are not published. With a published range of 2,055 nm and cruise speed of 450 kts, the airframe is inherently suited to short- to medium-haul fixed-wing, multi-engine operations from bases within the United States, consistent with its ownership by Everts Air. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe center on its twin Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 engines and age as a 1992-built MD-88; detailed maintenance history is not published.
The MD-88, manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, occupies the later-generation MD-80 family niche as a short- to medium-range, twin-engined narrow-body airliner. With a service ceiling of 37,000 ft, a cruise speed of 450 kts, and a range of 2,055 nm, the type is configured for domestic and near-international sectors typical of the early 1990s design philosophy. The installed Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 powerplants reflect the generation of low-bypass turbofans common to the type and imply maintenance and operational profiles associated with legacy engine support. As a 1992-build airframe under United States registration and corporate ownership, resale and operational considerations typically reflect airframe age, parts availability, and operator-specific refurbishment choices; specific market valuation for N997DL is not published.
