N507YV

This airframe, registration N507YV, is a Boeing 757-223 built in 1991 with manufacturer serial number 24607. The documented owner is the corporate trust BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, and the aircraft carries a US registration; operator and home base information not published. The airframe underwent a notable configuration change when it was converted to full freighter (PCF/SF conversion) in September 2018, reflecting a shift from passenger to cargo operations. Current valuation is recorded at $18,000,000, a figure that reflects its age, conversion status, and airframe/engine configuration.

Originally certificated and outfitted as a passenger airplane with a cabin layout of 178 seats in a C22Y166 arrangement, this airframe's interior was later removed and reconfigured for cargo operations. The conversion to a freighter alters typical mission profiles from scheduled passenger routes to longer-range cargo sectors, utilising the 757-200's transcontinental and medium-haul performance characteristics within a payload-optimized envelope. Avionics specifics and operator flight patterns are not published for this registration, but maintenance and operational considerations are influenced by the RB211 powerplants and the structural and systems modifications associated with freighter conversion. As a trust-owned corporate asset, registry actions focus on ownership administration rather than an airline operating certificate.

The Boeing 757-223 sits in a niche between narrowbody single-aisles and larger twin-aisles, prized for its combination of range (3,900 nm), payload capability after conversion, and performance to 42,000 ft. Competing models in missions similar to a converted 757-200 include older MD-11 freighters and newer narrowbody freighters depending on range and payload needs. Buyer and charter demand for converted 757s tends to favor cargo operators that require a balance of payload and range; resale and maintenance considerations are driven by RB211 engine support, structural life limits, and the implications of the 2018 freighter conversion.
