N409AZ

This airframe, registered as N409AZ, is a Boeing-built freighter delivered from the 1990 production run with manufacturer's serial number 24983. It is owned by Cargo Aircraft Management Inc, a corporate operator based in Wilmington, OH, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe has been modified to a main-deck freighter standard (BDSF) and has served in dedicated cargo configurations under its current corporate ownership; notable registry entries reflect its conversion and continued use in freight operations.

This specific Boeing 767-3P6(ER)(BDSF) is outfitted as a main-deck freighter following the Boeing Converted Freighter (BDSF) program, with lower-hold ULD capability and minimal crew seating appropriate to its cargo role. Operated from the owner’s base in Wilmington, Ohio, its mission profile centers on medium- to long-range cargo routes where the airframe’s 6,105 nm range and 470-knot cruise enable transcontinental and certain transoceanic sectors. The BDSF conversion emphasizes palletized main-deck loading and strengthened floor structures, which informs both routine line maintenance and the scheduling of heavier structural inspections; crew accommodations are limited to required flight and relief positions rather than passenger comforts.

The Boeing 767-3P6(ER) as a converted BDSF occupies a niche for operators seeking a widebody freighter with long-range capability and efficient twin-engine performance driven by the CF6-80C2B4 powerplants. Its 1990 build year and serial 24983 place it among early-generation 767-300ER airframes, factors that influence maintenance cycles, parts obsolescence planning, and potential teardown value. Competing in the same market segment are other converted widebody freighters; demand typically favors aircraft with demonstrated structural reinforcement for main-deck cargo and operators who can integrate heavier inspection regimes tied to airframe age.
