N610UP

This airframe, registered as N610UP, is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 64256. It is recorded as owned by C C & E I LLC, an LLC based in Louisville, KY, US, and appears on the United States civil aircraft registry as a freighter-operated asset. The airframe is a production Boeing 747-8F outfitted to operator-specific standards, and maintenance and avionics fit have been configured to a bespoke level consistent with modern freighter operations. Recorded ownership by a Louisville-based LLC and U.S. registration are the principal documented administrative notes for this specific ship.

The freighter configuration on N610UP features a main deck equipped with a powered roller pallet system designed for efficient unit-load handling and quick turnarounds in cargo operations. The flight deck retains the Boeing integrated flight deck with Rockwell-Collins-supplied avionics tailored to the operator’s specification, and the recorded accommodation includes flight deck and jump seats totaling 8 seats. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are long-range, high-capacity cargo sectors within the aircraft’s published 4,390 nm range and cruise at approximately 490 kts, operating from its owner’s Louisville, Kentucky base into domestic and international freight networks. Routine heavy maintenance considerations follow 747-8F program practices, with emphasis on the GEnx engines’ shop visit schedules and freighter-specific structural inspections tied to palletized load cycles.

The Boeing 747-8F represents the extended, high-capacity freighter niche with four high-thrust GEnx engines producing 66,500 lbf each, offering a combination of payload and range suited to intercontinental cargo flows. Competing types in long-haul cargo service include modernized twin-engine freighters for fuel efficiency and older four-engine types for maximum volumetric capacity; the 747-8F sits between those options by providing very large main-deck volume and robust range. Buyer and operator demand typically targets carriers and large logistics firms needing outsized cargo capability, while resale and maintenance considerations center on engine shop visit timing, avionics upgrades, and the economics of four-engine operations versus newer twin-engine designs.
