N702CA

This airframe, registered as N702CA, is a converted freighter Boeing 747-412(BCF) built by Boeing in 1994 with manufacturer serial number 27217. It is owned by AC SPE 5 LLC, an Orlando, Florida–based limited liability company, and is registered in the US. The airframe's configuration as a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) and its long-range capability reflect its role in large-volume cargo operations; ownership and registration have been held by AC SPE 5 LLC with the aircraft based out of Orlando, FL for the recorded period. Notable registry actions are limited to the US registration under the current owner; public valuation and condition reports are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) with a main deck cargo arrangement and lower-hold containerized stowage, reflecting a typical large freighter layout optimized for pallet and container throughput on the main deck and unit load devices below. Avionics fit is not specified in the provided data; operationally the aircraft is suited to long-range, high-payload missions given the engine thrust and quoted range, enabling intercontinental freight sectors. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transoceanic scheduled or contract cargo services and ad hoc heavy-lift charters. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include the standard heavy-airframe and four-engine support requirements inherent to the 747-400 series and to BCF-converted aircraft, with operator base activity centered on Orlando, Florida as indicated by owner location.

The Boeing 747-412(BCF) occupies a niche for high-capacity, long-range freighter missions, leveraging the 747-400 airframe’s payload-volume and intercontinental reach. Competing models in the heavy freighter segment include older 747 variants and large twinjets converted freighters; the four PW4056 engines and 56,750 lbf thrust rating provide robust field performance and payload capability. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor proven, high-volume freighters for global logistics chains, while maintenance and resale considerations hinge on remaining cycle life, structural condition, and the costs associated with four-engine type support and BCF modification status.
