N404KZ

This airframe, registered as N404KZ, is a freighter conversion of the Boeing 747-481F (747-400F) built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 34283. The aircraft is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US) and is registered in US registry records. Public records for operator or home base are not published; the registration and trustee ownership suggest the airframe has been held in trust for corporate or leasing purposes. No additional valuation or condition reports are published in the supplied data.

The main deck of this freighter is configured primarily for cargo with a dedicated crew and flight seating complement of 8, indicating space allocated for flight and mission crew rather than passenger transport. Avionics fit and specific equipment are not published; typical operations for a 747-400F airframe include long-haul intercontinental freight runs within the aircraft's published range of 4,455 nm at cruise speeds near 506 kts and altitudes up to 43,000 ft. Given trustee ownership and U.S. registration, the aircraft may be operated by third-party cargo operators under lease arrangements or positioned on ACMI/charter missions, with maintenance records and operator base not disclosed in the provided data. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would align with the 747-400F fleet standard—heavy structural inspections and CF6-80 series engine shop visits—though no specific maintenance history is supplied.

The Boeing 747-481F (747-400F) sits in the heavy freighter niche, offering long-range payload capability enabled by four CF6-80 series powerplants and a large main deck cargo volume. It competes with other legacy widebody freighters in long-haul freight markets and is commonly retained by large integrators, lessors, and specialized cargo carriers. Buyer interest and resale dynamics for a 2007-built 747-400F depend heavily on engine condition, maintenance history, and global demand for belly-available capacity; with ownership by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, disposition is likely managed through leasing or trustee-directed sale channels.
