RESEARCH NOTES
About N111RE
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry documents the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 airframe bearing tail number N111RE, built in 1988 with constructor serial 49670. The airframe is owned by X Aviation Group LLC (corporation, Beverly Hills, CA, US) and is registered in the US; its public record shows valuation and configuration listings rather than a long history of multiple operators. Notable listing activity includes the aircraft being offered in a specialized 19-passenger VVIP layout, highlighting its repositioning from standard commercial configurations to corporate VVIP use.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe is advertised in a 19-passenger VVIP layout featuring a forward cabin meeting/conference area, a mid-cabin lounge and an aft stateroom with private lavatory and shower in its VVIP configuration; this interior is presented in listings rather than factory documentation. Avionics listings for this specific airframe cite dual UNS1/FMS, dual Honeywell autopilots, Honeywell ADCs, Collins navigation/VHF/DME suites, TCAS II Change 7.1, EGPWS and ADS-B Out V2, supporting international corporate missions and enhanced situational awareness. Typical mission profiles enabled by the fit and performance include transcontinental and regional VVIP charters up to the published range, operating from a US corporate base for executive transport, with maintenance considerations shaped by JT8D-219 support and legacy airframe commonality.
Model & Market Context
The airframe is a member of the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 family, here identified as the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 (DC-9-87), positioned for short- to medium-range corporate transport with 450 kt cruise and a 2,372 nm range. Competing options in the niche include reconfigured regional jets and purpose-built business jets offering similar range but differing operating costs; demand for converted MD-87s tends to come from buyers seeking large-cabin VVIP capability at lower acquisition price points. Maintenance and resale considerations reflect the airframe’s age (1988), legacy Pratt & Whitney JT8D engine support requirements, and value implications tied to avionics upgrades and bespoke interior installations.
