N418MC

This airframe, registered as N418MC, is a Boeing 747-47UF built in 2002 by The Boeing Company with manufacturer serial number 32840. The airframe is owned by ATLAS AIR INC, a corporation based in Purchase, NY, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. As a main-deck freighter conversion (designated -47UF), it is configured and maintained for cargo operations under its corporate owner; operation and registry have been held by Atlas Air since delivery to the cargo market. No additional private ownership transfers or valuation disclosures are published in the supplied data.

The airframe is fitted as a main-deck freighter in a pallet/ULD configuration with lower-hold container capability, enabling mixed main-deck palletized loads and lower-deck containers for long-range cargo missions. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include transcontinental and transoceanic heavy-cargo transport within the aircraft’s 4,455 nm range and at cruise speeds near 506 kts; operations are conducted from the owner’s base regionally centered on Purchase, NY, US. Avionics fit and specific maintenance status are not published in the provided data; however, the four-engine layout with GE CF6 powerplants and a high service ceiling of 45,000 ft informs routine heavy-aircraft maintenance and inspections typical of commercial freighter operators. Cargo handling considerations emphasize pallet and ULD compatibility on the main deck and container logistics in the lower hold.

The Boeing 747-47UF variant occupies a niche as a large, long-range main-deck freighter within the 747 family, suited to high-volume cargo operators and ACMI/charter services. With four GE CF6-80C2B5F engines delivering 47,600 lbf each, the type competes with other large freighters for long-haul, heavy-payload missions, while its range and cruise profile favor intercontinental routes. Buyer and charter demand for converted 747 freighters historically centers on payload capacity and reliability; maintenance and resale considerations typically hinge on airframe hours, engine cycles, and freighter conversion specifics, none of which are published in the supplied data.
