N306GT

This airframe, registered as N306GT, is a Boeing-built narrowbody completed in 1993 with manufacturer serial number 27157. The airframe is a converted freighter variant designated Boeing 737-45D(SF) and is registered in the US. Ownership is held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US), which appears on the current registration; this trustee ownership reflects a financial or custody arrangement rather than an operating airline. The aircraft’s configuration and registry entries indicate it is maintained in a main-deck cargo condition following conversion from passenger layout.

The cabin has been converted to a freighter configuration, with the passenger cabin removed to accommodate pallet and containerized main-deck cargo in the Converted freighter (SF) main-deck cargo configuration; passenger cabin removed for pallet/container cargo arrangement. As a short-to-medium range freighter, the airframe typically operates missions optimized for payload and frequency rather than passenger comfort, concentrating on trunk and feeder routes within its 2,060 nm range and cruise at approximately 430 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on sustaining a high-cycle commercial freighter airframe equipped with the CFM56-3C1 engines and structures adapted for main-deck cargo loading; trustee ownership suggests centralized administrative oversight of records and compliance. The US registration and corporate trustee ownership are the principal registry highlights associated with this tail number.

The Boeing 737-45D(SF) sits within the 737 Classic family as a freighter-converted derivative offering operators a balance of payload capacity and short-to-medium haul economics. With twin CFM56-3C1 engines producing 23,515 lbf each and a service ceiling of 37,000 ft, it competes in markets where lower acquisition cost converted narrowbodies are favored over newer-generation types for dense regional cargo operations. Buyers and operators evaluate such airframes on remaining life-cycle flying hours, conversion pedigree, and maintenance history; trustee-held registration can affect resale fluidity due to lien, lease, or financing arrangements reflected in ownership records.
