N5261A

This airframe, registered as N5261A, is a Boeing-built fuselage completed in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 32348. The aircraft is configured as a Boeing Converted Freighter and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US). It carries a U.S. registration and has undergone modification to a main-deck cargo layout, with the original passenger seating removed. The conversion to a freighter and corporate trustee ownership are the principal recorded changes on this specific airframe’s history, reflecting its role in cargo operations and asset-holding structures.

As a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF), the cabin of N5261A is laid out for main-deck cargo carriage and has had passenger seats removed to accommodate palletized or containerized freight; a 149-seat passenger configuration is retained only in the aircraft’s original specification record. Typical mission profiles for this airframe leverage its medium-range capability to move cargo across multi-hundred to several-thousand-nautical-mile sectors, operating under U.S. registry and asset ownership from Salt Lake City. Avionics fit and specific operator base details are not published for this airframe; maintenance considerations focus on freighter-specific structural and door modifications associated with the BCF conversion.

The airframe is a member of the Boeing 737-800 series as denoted by the type Boeing 737-83N (BCF), combining the 737-800 airframe with a freighter conversion role that emphasizes short- to medium-range cargo transport given its 3,060 nm range and 440 kts cruise. Powerplant commonality with the CFM56-7B24 engines supports established maintenance pathways, while the removal of passenger furnishings and main-deck cargo conversion alter standard resale and asset valuation dynamics compared with passenger-configured counterparts. Buyers and asset holders typically weigh conversion-related maintenance records and the aircraft’s freighter configuration when assessing operational suitability and residual value.
