Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N120BT, is a Boeing 737-476 (737-400 series, SF freighter conversion) built in 1990 with manufacturer serial number 24433. The airframe is listed in the U.S. registry under US registration and is owned by the corporation Bank of Utah Trustee, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Operator and specific base-of-operations details are Not published; the record highlights the aircraft’s conversion to a freighter configuration and trustee ownership structure as notable registry attributes. Condition and valuation summaries are not published in the supplied data, though the 1990 build year and freighter conversion are material factors in market appraisal.
The cabin on this specific airframe has been converted to a freighter layout and is identified as a 737-400SF freighter conversion, removing passenger accommodations in favor of cargo handling equipment and a main-deck cargo door. Avionics and detailed systems fit for this airframe are Not published in the provided data; however, typical operations for a 737-400SF center on medium-range, high-frequency freight missions that exploit the aircraft’s 2,060 nm range and 473 kts cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include aging-structure and systems associated with a 1990 build and the operational implications of the CFM56-3C1 engine type, as well as maintenance tracking and records management consistent with trustee-owned assets.
The type, a Boeing 737-476 drawn from the 737-400 family, occupies the medium-range narrowbody freighter niche following passenger-to-freighter (P2F/SF) conversions. With twin CFM56-3C1 powerplants and a service ceiling of 37,000 ft, the platform competes in utility and regional cargo markets against other converted narrowbodies. Buyer and charter demand for such airframes is influenced by conversion status, remaining structural life of a 1990 airframe, engine type, and the availability of maintenance records; those same factors weigh on resale and lease considerations for trustee-held examples like N120BT.
