N407KZ

This entry covers the freighter airframe registered as N407KZ, a Boeing-built cargo variant Boeing 747-4KZF(SCD) (747-400F) constructed in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 36134. The airframe is recorded under corporate ownership by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a trustee corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a US registration. The airframe is powered by four turbofan engines and is configured for main-deck freight operations with a side cargo door; no public records of notable registry actions or operator base changes were published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics were not provided beyond its freighter configuration and build details.

The cabin of N407KZ is fitted in a freighter main-deck cargo configuration with a side cargo door (SCD), optimized for palletized and containerized unit load device (ULD) operations on the main deck and lower hold. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include medium- to long-range heavy freight sectors where the aircraft’s transoceanic range capability is used to move outsized or high-density cargo. Avionics fit and operator-specific equipment are not detailed in the provided dataset; routine maintenance considerations for this airframe would include attention to the four CF6-80C2B1F engines and structural inspections associated with 747-400 family freighters. The listed corporate owner suggests the aircraft may be part of a leasing, trustee or finance arrangement rather than direct operator ownership.

The 747-400F (family designation 747-4KZF for certain customer fits) occupies a niche as a high-capacity, long-range freighter capable of hauling outsized and heavy unit loads that smaller twin freighters cannot. Competing models include large widebody freighters such as the Boeing 777F and older 747-200/300 freighters; demand typically favors twin-engine types for fuel efficiency, while 747 freighters retain value for volume and ramp handling. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe relate to lifecycle management of four CF6 engines, structural aging on a 2008 build, and market appetite for four-engine, high-capacity freighters in cargo operators and lessors.
