N309GT

This airframe, registration N309GT, is a Boeing-built freighter variant identified as a Boeing 737-4Q8 (737-400F) completed in 1996 with manufacturer serial number 26334. The aircraft is held in trust by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate owner located in Wilmington, DE, US; ownership on the certificate is recorded to that trustee entity. The airframe is registered in the US and features a main-deck conversion to a freighter configuration. Operator and home-base details are Not published.

The aircraft is outfitted as a converted main-deck freighter with a pallet/ULD handling system as part of the 737-400F conversion, providing a dedicated cargo mission profile optimized for short- to medium-haul freight operations. Cabin passenger accommodation is nominally 149 seats in the original type certification, but the current certificate and physical configuration reflect main-deck freight capability rather than revenue passenger service. Avionics fit and operator-specific equipment are Not published. Typical use for this converted airframe would focus on point-to-point cargo sectors compatible with a 2,060 nm range and cruise speeds around 430 kts, with maintenance considerations driven by the airframe’s age (built 1996) and the widely supported CFM56-3C1 powerplants.

The Boeing 737-4Q8 (737-400F) airframe sits within the 737 Classic family, offering a blend of medium-capacity payload and short-to-medium range performance inherent to the type’s design. With twin CFM56-3C1 engines producing approximately 23,515 lbf each, the model occupies a niche for express and regional freighter operators transitioning older passenger frames to main-deck freighters. Market considerations for this specific airframe include lifecycle maintenance of a 1996-built platform, freighter conversion equipment condition, and the administrative ownership structure represented by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, which may influence title, leasing or asset management arrangements.
