N471UP

This airframe, registered as N471UP, is a Boeing 757-24A(PF) built in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 28842. The airframe is owned by United Parcel Service Co of Louisville, KY, US, and operates in a corporate freighter role from that base. Registry is under US jurisdiction. Notable registry actions and valuation or detailed condition reports are Not published, and there is no public record in the provided data of prior civil operators or lease history.

The aircraft is configured as a freighter with a main-deck palletized cargo arrangement (designated PF), optimized for unitized package and freight carriage rather than passenger service. As a UPS-operated asset based in Louisville, KY, US, typical mission profiles emphasize medium- to long-range cargo sectors where the 3,150 nm range and 458 kt cruise speed enable efficient point-to-point package distribution. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems are Not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations focus on serviceability of the twin Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines and freighter-specific structures, including reinforced floor and main-deck cargo handling systems.

The Boeing 757-24A(PF) occupies a niche as a narrow-body, medium-range freighter that balances payload and range for integrators and cargo carriers. With a service ceiling of 42,000 ft and twin RB211 powerplants producing 40,100 lbf each, it competes operationally with converted narrow-body freighters and newer medium-capacity freighter types in short- to transcontinental markets. Buyer demand for this model typically reflects its freighter conversion pedigree and remaining structural life; maintenance and resale considerations often hinge on engine maintenance status and the condition of freighter modifications, factors central to fleet operators such as United Parcel Service Co.
