N858FT

This entry concerns airframe N858FT, a Boeing 747-123 built in 1970 with manufacturer serial number 20109. The aircraft is owned by LOGISTIC AIR INC, a corporation based in Reno, NV, US, and is registered in the US under the tail N858FT. The airframe has been configured as a converted freighter from its original passenger layout and carries registry and home-base ties to Reno; specific valuation data and detailed condition reports are not published in the supplied data. Notable administrative facts for this airframe include its corporate ownership and its continued US registration.

The cabin for N858FT is recorded as a converted freighter while the original passenger capacity is listed as 495 seats, indicating removal of the passenger interior for cargo operations. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are not published for this airframe. Typical mission profiles implied by the conversion include medium- to long-range freight operations consistent with its 4,620 nm range and high-capacity airframe; the operator is based in Reno, NV. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft reflect its four Pratt & Whitney JT9D-3A engines and its 1970 build year, which are relevant for heavy-airframe inspections and legacy-engine support.

As a Boeing 747-123 airframe delivered in 1970, this example occupies the market niche of large, long-range four-engine widebodies repurposed for cargo use. Buyer and charter demand for such converted freighters tends to focus on their volumetric capacity and range, alongside the availability of support for legacy JT9D powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically include its age, the maintenance profile of four high-thrust engines (43,500 lbf each), and the implications of a converted freighter cabin on residual passenger-configured value.
