N858GT

The airframe bearing registration N858GT is a Boeing 747-87UF built in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 37569. The aircraft is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and has been recorded in that trustee ownership capacity in the current registry data. Operator and home base information are Not published for this specific tail; notable registry actions beyond the trustee ownership are Not published. Condition and valuation details are Not published, although the freighter configuration and modern engine fit indicate a purpose-built cargo asset.

This airframe is configured as a freighter with a main-deck palletized cargo arrangement and a nose cargo door; there is no passenger cabin. Avionics are fitted to a typical freighter standard with Rockwell Collins equipment as commonly installed on this series. The aircraft’s mission profile is therefore focused on long-range cargo operations within the stated range and cruise parameters, operating under corporate trustee ownership rather than a named airline in the provided records. Maintenance considerations for this hull would include GEnx engine support and freighter-specific structural and loading inspections consistent with palletized main-deck operations.

The Boeing 747-87UF is an example of the 747-800 freighter family niche that balances large main-deck pallet capacity with transcontinental and intercontinental capability, here evidenced by a 4,390 nm range and a high subsonic cruise. Competing models in the heavy freighter sector include derivative 747 freighters and large twin-engine types where operators weigh payload capacity vs. operating economics. Buyer and secondary-market interest for this configuration typically focuses on cargo carriers and leasing trusts, with maintenance and resale influenced by engine support (GEnx series) and freighter conversion pedigree.
