Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N856GT, is a Boeing 747-8F built in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 37561. The airframe is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. The freighter configuration and trustee ownership suggest use in commercial cargo operations or asset-managed lease arrangements; registration and trustee ownership details point to financial-asset management rather than direct airline operation. No public operator or base is published for this specific registration in the supplied data.
This specific 747-8F is configured as a main-deck freighter with a palletized arrangement accommodating 96 × 125in pallets plus 2 LD1 lower-hold positions, reflecting a typical freighter internal layout optimized for bulk and palletized air cargo rather than passenger service. The four high-bypass GEnx-2B67B engines provide the thrust required for heavy cargo mission profiles and long-range stage lengths up to the published 4,265 nm, permitting transcontinental and intercontinental freight routings at a cruise speed near 490 kts and operational ceilings up to 43,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would center on heavy freighter cyclic wear, main-deck handling equipment integration and standard 747-8F systems upkeep; specific avionics fit, operator maintenance program, and current condition are not published in the supplied data.
As a member of the Boeing 747-8 freighter family, this airframe combines high main-deck pallet capacity and long-range capability, as reflected in its pallet positions and 4,265 nm range. The four GEnx-2B67B engines with 67,400 lbf thrust each underpin its payload/range trade-offs and typical cruise performance at 490 kts and 43,000 ft ceiling. Trustee ownership implies that the aircraft may be held for lease, sale, or financial structuring rather than line operation by the owner; resale and maintenance considerations for such assets frequently focus on utilization history and cargo-system integrity, details not supplied here.
