N652EE

The airframe bearing tail number N652EE is a Boeing 737-400 (737-4B6) built by Boeing in 1992, serial number 26526. The airframe has been converted to an SF freighter configuration and is registered in the US. Ownership is listed under AEROTRUST SERVICES CORP TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US, and the aircraft is consequently held under trust rather than a named operating airline; the trust ownership structure is the primary notable administrative characteristic of this airframe. Public valuation and detailed condition reporting are Not published.

This specific 737-4B6 has been completed as an SF freighter conversion, with the main deck reconfigured for cargo operations and passenger seats removed; the cabin is therefore dedicated to main-deck freight carriage. While detailed avionics fit and line-replaceable equipment lists are not published for this airframe, the conversion implies reinforced floor fittings, cargo handling systems, and a forward or aft large cargo door installation typical of SF conversions. Typical mission profiles for this configuration center on short- to medium-range airfreight sectors within the aircraft’s 2,060 nm range and up to its 37,000 ft ceiling, operating at cruise speeds around 430 knots. As an asset held by a corporate trustee, operational management and base assignments typically depend on the trustee’s commercial operator agreements rather than direct owner-operator deployment.

The Boeing 737-400 freighter conversion occupies a niche for high-frequency, short- to medium-haul cargo operations where runway performance and commonality with classic 737 fleets are advantages. Competing platforms include older narrowbody freighter conversions such as the MD-80/-90 series and Airbus A320 family freighters in some markets; the 737-400’s combination of CFM56-3C1 powerplants and a 2,060 nm ferry/mission range makes it attractive for feeder and express cargo work. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor airframes with known maintenance histories and predictable engine shop visit cycles; trustee-held examples like N652EE may require additional diligence on records and any conversion STC documentation during acquisition or lease negotiations.
