Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N796SA, is a Boeing-built freighter delivered in 1990 with manufacturer serial number 24796. The aircraft is a converted main-deck freighter operated by and owned by Classic QF Freighters of Seminole, FL, USA, and is entered on the US registry. As a dedicated freighter conversion of the original passenger platform, its records emphasize cargo configuration and operator-based maintenance under the corporate owner; specific valuation or publicly disclosed condition summaries are not published for this individual airframe.

The cabin of this specific aircraft is a main-deck freighter conversion, and there is no passenger cabin—cargo is carried on the primary deck for higher density loads and palletized freight. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on medium-range cargo routes compatible with its 2,060 nm range and 485 kt cruise, operating from the owner’s base in Seminole, Florida, under the US registration. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists for this airframe are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations emphasize operation of the twin CFM56-3C1 engines and airframe systems consistent with dedicated freighter usage and regulatory oversight by US authorities.

The airframe is a member of the Boeing 737 classic family in a freighter-converted form, optimized for short-to-medium-haul freight missions with an operational ceiling of 37,000 ft and a cruise speed of 485 kts. In the commercial freighter market, such converted classics occupy a performance niche for regional and transcontinental cargo services where payload efficiency, commonality, and operating economics are primary buyer concerns. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific aircraft hinge on its conversion status, engine type (CFM56-3C1), and logbook continuity under Classic QF Freighters on the US register.
