N472MC

This airframe, registered as N472MC, is a Boeing 747-45E (BDSF) built in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 27062. The airframe is operated by and owned by Atlas Air, Inc., a corporation based in Purchase, NY, US, and is flown on the U.S. register. The aircraft was originally manufactured by The Boeing Company and features a post-production freighter configuration that reflects a conversion completed in 2008 to a main-deck pallet/cargo layout. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are documented in the supplied data.

The cabin of this individual 747 has been converted to a freighter role, with a main-deck pallet/cargo configuration following a 2008 conversion; this layout supports high-density cargo operations and palletized freight handling. Avionics fit and specific navigation/communication equipment are not published in the provided data, but operations under Atlas Air typically involve long-range scheduled and on-demand cargo services; the aircraft’s listed range of 4,445 nm supports transcontinental missions and many intercontinental sectors when payload and fuel planning permit. Based at the operator’s U.S. registry and home in Purchase, New York, the aircraft is maintained under corporate heavy-maintenance programs consistent with commercial freighter operations; specific maintenance history and condition valuations are not published in the supplied data.

The Boeing 747-400 series derivative represented by the 747-45E (BDSF) occupies a niche for large, long-range freighter operations with four high-thrust turbofans; this airframe’s GE CF6-80C2B1F engines produce 57,160 lbf each, supporting robust payload capability. Competing models in the heavy freighter market include other 747 conversions and widebody freighters such as the Boeing 777F and older McDonnell Douglas/DC-10/KC-10 derivatives; buyer and charter demand for 747-400-based freighters historically centers on high-volume cargo routes. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its age (built 1992), the conversion to main-deck pallet/cargo use, and continued operation by a major cargo specialist, factors that influence remaining economic life and market valuation.
