N560XG

This entry covers airframe N560XG, a Boeing-built freighter with construction year 1986 and manufacturer serial number 23513. The airframe was originally a passenger variant later modified to a BDSF freighter conversion and is operated by Xtreme Aviation LLC from the Opa-locka / Miami area, FL, US. Ownership records indicate lessor relationships reported with Wells Fargo Bank Northwest as a previous lessor, and the aircraft is registered in the US. Condition and valuation notes are limited in the record, though the conversion and operator history mark it as an active narrow-body freighter in regional cargo service.

The aircraft carries a main-deck cargo door and freight handling fittings as part of its BDSF conversion; there is no passenger cabin layout on this airframe. Typical mission profiles for N560XG are regional and medium-range cargo operations consistent with a 2,255 nm range and a cruise speed near 430 knots, servicing feeder and on-demand freight routes from its Miami-area base. Avionics fit specific to this serial are not detailed in the available data, but maintenance considerations reflect the age of a 1986 airframe and the common support ecosystem for the CFM56-3 engines. Operator-based maintenance and line support at Opa-locka allow frequent short-haul rotations and cargo handling cycles typical of converted 737-300 freighters.

As a Boeing 737-300 in BDSF freighter specification, Boeing 737-300 (BDSF freighter conversion) occupies a long-standing niche for cost-effective narrow-body cargo lift on short to medium sectors. Its performance—cruise around 430 kts and a service ceiling near 37,000 ft—compares favorably with earlier generation narrowbodies, while competing models include older Boeing 737-200 freighters and early Airbus A320 conversions for similar missions. Buyer and charter demand tends to be driven by lower acquisition costs versus newer types, balanced against higher maintenance and fuel considerations for an airframe introduced in 1986. Resale and lease considerations frequently reference prior lessor ties and conversion status when valuing such aircraft.
