N650GT

The airframe bearing tail number N650GT is a Boeing 767-231(BDSF) built by Boeing in 1982, manufacturer serial number 22566. It is registered in the US and is owned by UMB BANK N A TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, representing the documented ownership interest and trustee status for the asset. This airframe has been converted to a main-deck freighter (BDSF) configuration, reflecting a post-production modification from its original passenger layout to a cargo role. Registry details highlight the aircraft’s continued commercial utility as a freight-configured widebody despite its early-1980s build date.

As a converted main-deck freighter (BDSF), the cabin of N650GT has been reconfigured to prioritize cargo on the primary deck, with cargo handling systems and floor reinforcements installed to accommodate containerized and palletized freight rather than passengers. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on medium- to long-haul cargo operations making use of its transoceanic range capability and widebody payload volume; operators commonly base such aircraft at major cargo hubs to serve long-range freight lanes. Avionics and systems are those consistent with an early-1980s Boeing widebody subsequently modified for freighter operations, and maintenance considerations focus on keeping the JT9D powerplants and freighter-specific structural modifications airworthy under continuous commercial-use cycles.

The Boeing 767-200 series to which N650GT belongs occupies a mid-size, medium-to-long-range twin-aisle niche, offering a balance of payload and range attractive to cargo operators converting older passenger airframes. Competing types in this segment include similar converted widebodies that provide efficient twin-engine operations for transcontinental and transoceanic freight; demand is driven by cargo carriers seeking lower acquisition cost platforms with reliable JT9D-era propulsion. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are shaped by its age, conversion status, and the continued availability of parts and overhaul support for legacy systems.
