N762CK

This airframe, registered as N762CK, is a Boeing-built freighter originally manufactured in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 26236. The type designation for the converted airframe is Boeing 767-3P6(ER)(BDSF), built by Boeing and currently owned by Kalitta Air LLC of Ypsilanti, MI, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and operates under the ownership of a corporate operator based in Michigan. Notable aspects of this airframe include its conversion to a main-deck freighter under the BDSF program and its long-established presence in the medium‑to‑long‑range cargo market.

This airframe is configured as a converted freighter (BDSF) with main-deck cargo carriage and no passenger cabin, yielding a seats count of 0 and a freight‑only mission profile. Avionics fit and specific line‑fit equipment are operator-dependent and not published here, but the BDSF conversion denotes structural modifications to support palletized main-deck loads and related cargo handling systems. Typical operations for this airframe include medium‑to‑long‑range cargo routes up to its maximum range of 5,980 nm, flown at cruise speeds near 460 kts and operational ceilings up to 43,000 ft. The aircraft is maintained and operated from the Kalitta Air base in Ypsilanti, MI, US, and requires the maintenance practices common to older widebody freighters, including structural inspections related to conversion modifications and engine shop visits for its twin high‑bypass turbofans.

The Boeing 767-3P6(ER)(BDSF) sits within the 767 family as a long‑range, twin‑engine widebody freighter derivative, offering a competitive combination of payload range and operating economy for transcontinental and intercontinental cargo services. Powered in this airframe by two high‑bypass turbofans (engine type published as CF6-80C2B4), the model competes with similar converted widebody freighters in the secondary market where demand is driven by cargo operators seeking proven reliability and lower acquisition costs relative to newer types. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1992 serial 26236 include lifecycle costs associated with aging airframes and the continued market appetite for converted 767s in scheduled and ad hoc cargo operations.
