N255CM

This airframe, registered as N255CM, is a Boeing-built widebody with manufacturer serial number 22316 and construction year 1984. It is a Boeing 767-223 configured as a Boeing Converted Freighter (BDSF) and is owned by CARGO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, OH, US. The aircraft carries US registration (US) and its recorded ownership reflects operation under a corporate cargo manager rather than a passenger airline; conversion to a main-deck freighter role represents the most notable modification in its history. Condition and valuation details for this specific airframe are not published beyond its converted freighter status.

As a BDSF-converted airframe, N255CM features a main-deck freighter layout with no passenger cabin; the original passenger accommodations were removed during conversion to maximize cargo capacity. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize medium- to long-range cargo routes within the aircraft’s 6,590 nm capability and cruise performance near 470 kts, operated from the owner’s US base of record in Wilmington, OH. Avionics fit is consistent with late-model 767 conversions, supporting freight operations and long-haul dispatch; maintenance considerations focus on freighter-specific structures, main-deck loading systems, and the continued airworthiness of the GE CF6-80A powerplants. Seating is listed as 255 in original specification records but is not applicable to current cargo operations.

The Boeing 767-223 (BDSF) sits in the mid-size twin-aisle freighter niche, offering range and payload suitable for transcontinental and intercontinental freight tasks. Competing types in its market segment include other converted widebodies and newer factory freighters that may offer modern avionics or fuel-efficiency advantages. Buyer and charter demand for BDSF 767s typically reflects cargo operators’ needs for reliable range and payload at lower acquisition cost than new freighters; maintenance and resale considerations center on airframe age (built 1984), remaining structural fatigue life, and lifecycle support for GE CF6-80A engines.
