N579UP

This airframe, registered as N579UP, is a Boeing-built freighter originally manufactured in 1994 with serial number 26062. The airframe is a Boeing 747-45E(BCF) completed by Boeing and is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO of Louisville, KY, US, with U.S. registration. The airframe is notable for its BCF conversion to main deck cargo and for operation under the corporate owner based in Louisville; detailed valuation and condition records are not published.

The airframe operates with a main deck cargo layout following the Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) modification, retaining only flight and crew seating rather than passenger accommodation. Avionics fit is as configured for a 747 freighter of its line and era, supporting long-range air cargo operations consistent with its published range and cruise speeds. Typical mission profiles for this specific aircraft center on long-haul, high-capacity freight sectors operated from the owner’s Louisville, KY base; maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s age (built in 1994), four-engine GE CF6-80C2 propulsion, and the logistics operator’s heavy utilization patterns. Any unique amenities are limited to crew provisions, as cabin space is dedicated to cargo carriage.

The Boeing 747-45E(BCF) airframe belongs to the 747 family niche serving large-payload, long-range cargo operations; this specific conversion emphasizes main deck palletized freight. Competing models in the heavy-freighter sector include four-engine and high-capacity twin options, but the 747 remains valued for volume and deck flexibility. Market considerations for this airframe include age-related maintenance demands, aftermarket support for GE CF6 engines, and resale prospects tied to freighter conversion pedigree and operator maintenance history.
