N730CK

This airframe, registered as N730CK, is a Boeing-built narrowbody freighter completed in 1992 with manufacturer's serial number 26437. The aircraft is a converted freighter variant listed as a Boeing 737-4C9(SF) and is registered in the US. It is owned by the corporation KALITTA CHARTERS II LLC of Ypsilanti, MI, US, reflecting a corporate ownership structure typical for regional and supplemental cargo operators. No additional prior ownership or notable registry actions are published in the provided data.

The aircraft is outfitted as a converted main-deck freighter (SF) featuring a forward cargo door and a cargo-configured main deck suitable for unit load devices and bulk palletized freight. Typical missions for this airframe, given its configuration and performance figures, would include short- to medium-haul cargo rotations and ad hoc charter freight services within the continental United States and nearby international destinations. The operator base is tied to Ypsilanti, MI, US, where maintenance and operational control are likely managed under the owner's corporate maintenance program. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include lifecycle management of the airframe from its 1992 build year and continued support for the CFM56-3C-1 engines and freighter conversion components.

The Boeing 737-4C9(SF) example represented by N730CK occupies the converted narrowbody freighter niche, offering a balance of payload capability and regional range as indicated by a 2,060 nm range and 430 kt cruise speed. This airframe competes in markets served by converted single-aisle freighters where demand is driven by e-commerce and express cargo flows. From a maintenance and resale perspective, considerations center on aging-airframe inspections, support for legacy CFM56-3 engine parts, and the residual value implications of a 1992 serial-numbered airframe in cargo service.
