N818AA
N2BUAA
N2BSAA
Any help would be appreciated.
You can search FAA N-Numbers
here.
Using this tool, the first one comes back to a Dassault Falcon - not an AA plane.
The last two are not valid N-numbers. You can see the criteria
here, but in short, as you can have a maximum of two alpha characters at the end of the N-number, the last two clearly are invalid.
Did these come from the side of actual AA planes? If so, my guess is there's a transcription error somewhere.
Also, I assume you know that AA doesn't fly any 727's anymore.
