N359UP

This entry documents airframe N359UP, a Boeing-built freighter delivered in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 37870. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation C C & E I LLC of Louisville, KY, US and is registered in the US; registration and corporate ownership filings reflect the aircraft’s conversion and freight role. The type is a dedicated freighter variant, listed as Boeing 767-34AF(ER), and valuation records indicate an estimated current market value of $62,000,000. Notable registry actions include standard US civil registration under the tail N359UP and corporate ownership filings tied to Louisville, Kentucky.

The airframe is configured as a main-deck freighter with a Main-deck freighter (ULD/pallet main deck, lower-hold containers) arrangement, enabling continental and transcontinental cargo missions using standard ULDs and palletized loads. Typical operations for this configuration emphasize medium-to-long-range freight sectors compatible with the 3,225 nm range and high-utilization airline or contract logistics schedules; base operations are associated with the owner’s Louisville, KY location. Avionics and systems are consistent with the Boeing 767-300 freighter conversions required for reliable cargo ops, and maintenance considerations focus on airframe fatigue tracking and CF6-series engine shop visit scheduling given the GE CF6-80C2B6F powerplants. The listed seating capacity of 190 denotes original passenger-type certification metrics retained in documentation, although the physical cabin is dedicated to cargo.

The Boeing 767-34AF(ER) sits in the medium widebody freighter niche, valued for a balance of payload, range and airport flexibility compared with larger twin-aisle freighters. Competing types include later-generation freighter conversions of narrowbody and smaller widebody airframes; the 767-300 freighter family remains competitive for express and integrator markets. Buyers consider lifecycle costs, CF6 engine support, and conversion pedigree when assessing resale; the indicated $62,000,000 valuation reflects both the freighter conversion utility and the airframe’s relatively recent 2013 build year. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe will center on structural tracking, engine life, and remaining ferry-range utility relative to marketplace demand for medium widebody freighters.
