N349CM

This airframe, registered as N349CM, is a Boeing-built freighter originally completed in 1993 with manufacturer serial number 26996. It is a Boeing 767 freighter conversion listed as Boeing 767-323(ER)(BDSF) and is recorded on the U.S. registry (US) under corporate ownership by CARGO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, OH, US. Attribution to a specialized cargo operator and the conversion to a main-deck containerized freighter mark notable transitions in the aircraft’s operational life. The airframe is valued at approximately $10,000,000, reflecting its role as a long-range freighter and the condition norms for similarly aged widebody conversions.

The cabin of this specific aircraft has been modified to a converted freighter configuration with main deck containerized cargo capacity and is operated with a flight crew of two; no passenger seating is installed. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are long-range cargo sectors enabled by a maximum range of 5,990 nm and cruise speeds near 470 kts, making it suitable for continental and transoceanic feeder and integrator operations. The operator based in Wilmington, OH, US would deploy the aircraft on scheduled or ad-hoc cargo routes where main-deck containerization and the GE CF6-80 series powerplant provide a balance of payload capability and range. Maintenance considerations align with widebody freighter fleets of similar vintage and conversion status.

The Boeing 767-323(ER)(BDSF) sits in the medium widebody freighter niche, offering extended-range capability and main-deck containerized cargo compatibility. It competes in the secondary freighter market with other converted widebodies and newer dedicated freighters where buyers weigh acquisition cost—here shown at $10,000,000—against remaining fatigue life, engine maintenance status, and conversion standard. Demand among cargo operators for such converted 767s remains driven by their combination of range, payload flexibility, and relatively lower acquisition cost compared with new-build freighters, while resale and maintenance cycles reflect age, cycle count, and the specifics of the freighter conversion package.
