N606UP

This airframe, registered as N606UP, is a factory-built Boeing 747-8F completed in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 64253. The freighter is owned by CC & E I LLC of Louisville, KY, US and is registered in the US; the ownership has remained with that Louisville-based limited liability company since delivery. No publicized major registry actions or long-term operator changes are recorded for this airframe, and its configuration and maintenance status reflect a dedicated main-deck palletized freighter role with minimal crew accommodation. Condition highlights are limited to the published factory specification and standard fit for a 747-8F of this build year.

The aircraft is configured as a freighter with a main-deck palletized cargo bay accepting 96×125in pallets and additional lower-deck container capacity; the cabin provision lists 8 certified seats intended for flight and cargo crew. Avionics are fitted with Rockwell Collins class systems consistent with the standard 747-8 factory fit, supporting modern flight-deck navigation, communication and flight-management functionality. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are long-haul heavy-cargo routes within the aircraft’s stated range and cruise parameters, operating from the owner’s Louisville, KY region as a commercial freight asset. Maintenance considerations reflect the high-utilization freighter role and the four GEnx-2B67 powerplants’ scheduled shop visits and manufacturer service bulletins applicable to 747-8Fs.

The Boeing 747-8F family occupies a niche as a large, long-range freighter with a high main-deck pallet density and significant payload capability relative to twin-engine competitors. Competing types in long-haul cargo markets include large-body freighter conversions and other factory freighters, but the 747-8F’s multi-deck volumetric capacity and four-engine redundancy remain distinguishing factors. Buyers and operators of this model typically weigh demand for volumetric cargo capability, operating economics of four engines, and long-term maintenance and resale considerations tied to airframe age; this airframe’s 2017 build date positions it as a relatively modern example within the 747-8F fleet.
