N609UP

This airframe, registered as N609UP, is a factory-built Boeing 747-8F completed in 2018 with manufacturer's serial number 64254. The freighter is recorded as owned by C C & E I LLC, an LLC based in Louisville, KY, US, and carries a US registration. The airframe is maintained in freighter configuration with a minimal crew seating fit and typical 747-8 operator equipment; its condition is consistent with a modern-build freighter produced in the late 2010s. Ownership is recorded to a Louisville-based LLC, reflecting common US-based corporate ownership structures for cargo 747-8Fs.

The cabin of this Boeing 747-8F is arranged as a dedicated freighter: the main deck is palletised for standard pallets (typical 96×125in pallets) with additional lower-hold pallet capacity and only minimal crew seating totaling 8. Avionics are the typical fit for the model, listed as Rockwell Collins, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight management needs for long-range cargo operations. With a design range of 4,265 nm and a cruise speed near 490 kts, this airframe is well suited for transcontinental and medium intercontinental cargo routes operated from its owner’s Louisville base. Maintenance considerations focus on high-utilization freighter tasks—pallet handling systems, lower-hold access, and the GEnx-2B engine shop visits consistent with the model’s literatures.

As a member of the 747-8 family, this aircraft occupies the heavy freighter niche with a high main-deck volumetric capacity and long-range performance. It competes functionally with other large widebody freighters in markets requiring palletised main-deck carriage and intercontinental range; the GEnx-2B powerplant and Rockwell Collins avionics are in line with contemporary heavy-freighter expectations. Buyer and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2018 build year—relatively modern systems—but also the specialized market for very large freighters where demand and resale depend on global air cargo trends and operator willingness to support large-piston freighter infrastructure.
