N797AX

This airframe, registered as N797AX, is a Boeing-built 767 first delivered in 1985 with manufacturer serial number 23147 and the specific model designation Boeing 767-281(BDSF). The airframe is owned by ABX Air, Inc., a corporation based in Wilmington, OH, US, and is registered in the US registry. The aircraft carries a freighter cabin resulting from a Boeing Converted Freighter (BDSF) modification and has been operated in a cargo role by its corporate owner from its Wilmington base. Registry and valuation details beyond ownership and basic status are Not published.

The cabin on this airframe is configured as a freighter following a BDSF conversion, optimized for palletized cargo and large main-deck shipments rather than passenger accommodation. Specific avionics fit and interior outfitting details are Not published, although the BDSF layout typically incorporates reinforced flooring, cargo handling systems, and a large forward or side cargo door consistent with the conversion standard. Operated by ABX Air from its Wilmington, Ohio base, the aircraft performs medium- to long-range cargo missions enabled by its 6,610 nm range and a typical cruise of 470 knots. Maintenance considerations for this individual asset center on its twin General Electric CF6-80A engines and airframe age, given its 1985 build year and freighter service profile.

The Boeing 767 family occupies a mid-size, medium- to long-range freighter niche, offering a balance of payload and range that suits express and scheduled cargo operators; this airframe’s performance figures—6,610 nm range, 470 kt cruise, and 43,000 ft ceiling—reflect that mission profile. Competing models in this market segment include converted widebodies and narrowbody freighters that offer differing payload-range trade-offs; demand for early-production 767s depends heavily on maintenance status and remaining structural life. For buyers and lessors, considerations tied to this specific 1985-built aircraft include CF6 engine support, structural inspections and repair history associated with freighter conversions, and the typical resale market dynamics for converted 767-200 series airframes.
