N336CK

This airframe, registered as N336CK, is a Boeing-built airliner completed in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 26070. Built by Boeing and converted to a freighter under the Boeing Converted Freighter (BDSF) program, the aircraft carries a freighter configuration and is owned by KALITTA CHARTERS II LLC, a corporation based in Ypsilanti, MI, US and registered in the US. The airframe is configured for main-deck cargo with crew seating only and is valued at $5,000,000 on current lists; its documentation and registry actions reflect operation under a corporate U.S. registry and use in freighter/charter operations. Operated from the owner’s base in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the airframe serves freight missions consistent with its BDSF conversion and corporate ownership.

The cabin of this airframe is a freighter conversion (BDSF) laid out for main-deck cargo carriage with only crew seats installed, eliminating passenger accommodations and optimizing payload volume. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short-to-medium stage-length cargo flights within the aircraft’s 2,255 nm range and cruise at approximately 430 kts, often operated on scheduled or ad hoc charters by the owning corporate operator. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems are per BDSF conversion standards for the model and are maintained to support frequent cargo turnarounds; maintenance considerations focus on the freighter conversion structure, main-deck certifications, and continued airworthiness under U.S. registry.

As a member of the Boeing 737 Classic family, the Boeing 737-300 (BDSF conversion) fills a niche for cost-effective, short-to-medium range freighter operations with proven turbofan reliability from the CFM56-3 series. Competing models in the used freighter market include other converted narrow-body types offering similar payload-range profiles; demand tends to favor low-hour, well-maintained airframes for express cargo and integrator operations. Resale and maintenance considerations for this unit center on the age since its 1992 manufacture, conversion status, the lifecycle of the CFM56-3 engines, and the aircraft’s documented value of $5,000,000.
