N499AZ

This airframe, registered as N499AZ, is a Boeing-built Boeing 767-323(ER) with manufacturer's serial number 29432 and a construction year of 1998. Delivered by Boeing and later placed into a commercial freighter configuration, the airframe is owned by CARGO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INC (a corporation based in Wilmington, OH, US) and is registered in the US. The airframe is notable for its conversion to a main-deck freighter layout and retains the original long-range designation from Boeing while serving in freight operations out of its owner/operator base. Its category is recorded as fixed-wing multi-engine, and the airframe is powered by a twin-engine CF6 series installation.

The aircraft has been completed in a converted freighter layout with a main-deck cargo configuration, reflecting its role in dedicated air freight operations rather than passenger transport. As a converted freighter, interior appointments focus on cargo restraint systems, reinforced flooring, and main-deck loading capability rather than passenger seating; avionics and systems are typically retained in transport-category configuration consistent with Boeing 767 conversions. Operated under the ownership of CARGO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INC, the type is commonly used for medium- to long-haul trunk cargo missions, operating from cargo bases and hubs consistent with the owner’s Wilmington, Ohio location. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the converted freighter practice of addressing structural reinforcements, cargo door integrity, and main-deck loading equipment during scheduled heavy maintenance events.

The Boeing 767-323(ER) occupies a niche as a widebody medium-to-long-range twinjet that has seen extensive use in both passenger and freighter roles; the conversion market for late-1990s 767 airframes remains active due to the model’s payload/range balance and commonality with CF6 powerplants. Competition in the freighter conversion market typically comes from other widebody platforms converted to cargo use, and considerations for buyers or operators of this airframe include airframe age (built 1998), remaining structural life, maintenance history, and the consequences of a main-deck freight conversion on resale and operational flexibility.
