1982 Boeing 727-200 SUPER27Jet Aircraft

This 1982 Boeing 727-200 Super27 (Registration VQ-BNF, Serial 22825) represents a rare VIP-configured trijet with exceptionally low airframe time (6,447 hours) and cycles (3,727 landings). The aircraft underwent an extensive $8M+ restoration in recent years, including a complete Valsan re-engineering program with winglets, two new Pratt & Whitney JT8D-217C engines (positions #1 and #3 at 3,847 hours SNEW), and long-range fuel tanks. Recent maintenance includes fresh 8-9 year engine inspections (totaling $800K) and a 2018 refurbishment featuring new paint (white/blue custom scheme) and interior (31-seat VIP layout with master suite, shower, crew rest, and updated galley facilities).

The avionics suite includes dual Collins 618-M5s with 8.33 kHz spacing, triple FMS (Universal UNS-1F w/GPS), TCAS II, and Mark VII EGPWS, though ADS-B Out installation remains pending. Notable upgrades include a $240K GoGo L5 4G Wi-Fi system and comprehensive in-flight entertainment with multiple flat screens. Currently on Bermuda registry, the aircraft requires upcoming MSG III 3C checks and landing gear inspections (due August 2020) and is stored at the MRO facility that performed its restoration. The Pratt & Whitney-powered aircraft boasts a 210,000 lb max ramp weight and retains its original head-of-state service pedigree with maintenance histories from Jet Aviation Switzerland and Lufthansa.
