N308BR

This airframe is registered as N308BR, a conversion freighter built in 2001 as a Boeing 737-86J (737-800 SF) with manufacturer serial number 30876. The aircraft is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries a United States registration. Operator and regular home-base details are not published; the current status reflects trustee ownership rather than an operating airline. The airframe's condition and market valuation are noted at $19,000,000, consistent with converted narrow-body freighters of its vintage and configuration.

This specific airframe has been configured as a main-deck palletized/container cargo freighter (737-800SF conversion), with the passenger cabin repurposed for unit load devices and palletized shipments rather than traditional seating. Avionics and systems generally reflect the 737-800 baseline modified for freighter operations; specific avionics fit for this registration is not published. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-haul, high-frequency freight routes within a continent or between nearby regions, leveraging a 3,115 nm operational range and a cruise speed of 444 knots. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow freighter conversion practice—structure, main-deck cargo handling equipment and door, and cycle-limited components merit close monitoring—while trustee ownership suggests the aircraft may be between commercial operators or held as an asset in asset-management service.

The Boeing 737-800 SF sits in the converted single-aisle freighter niche, offering a balance of payload, range and runway performance for feeder and express cargo operations. It competes with similar narrow-body freighter conversions and newer factory-built freighters in point-to-point frequency-driven markets. Buyer and lease demand remains solid for converted 737-800s due to commonality with passenger fleets and established maintenance support, though resale and long-term value are influenced by cycle life, structural inspections post-conversion, and the broader air-cargo traffic environment reflected by the airframe’s valuation.
