N412MC

This airframe, registered as N412MC, is a Boeing 747-47UF built by Boeing in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 30559. The airframe is recorded as registered to ATLAS AIR INC, a corporate owner based in White Plains, NY, US, and carries a US registration. As a fixed-wing multi-engine freighter variant, the aircraft’s build year and serial place it within a late-production block of 747-400 family conversions configured for heavy cargo operations. Maintenance condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

The 747-47UF configuration for this specific airframe supports main-deck freight operations rather than passenger seating; cabin layout and seat counts are not published for this freighter variant. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, given its range and cruise speed, include long-haul transcontinental and transoceanic cargo routes operated from the owner’s base in White Plains, NY, US or other Atlas Air operational hubs. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems for N412MC are not detailed in the available data, though maintenance considerations for CF6-powered 747 freighters generally prioritize engine life-limited parts, structural fatigue inspections, and freighter conversion door and restraint systems. Notable operational registry actions beyond the recorded corporate ownership are not published.

The Boeing 747-47UF as exemplified by N412MC occupies a niche for high-capacity, long-range cargo movement, leveraging four GE CF6-80 series engines for robust thrust and payload capability. Its performance—cruise at 506 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft—compares favorably with other large freighters but faces competition from newer twin-engine widebodies in fuel efficiency. Buyer and charter demand for older 747 freighters often hinges on airframe condition, remaining structural life and engine status, with resale and maintenance considerations driven by the availability of parts and the economics of continuing four-engine operations versus modern twins.
