N868GT

This airframe, registered as N868GT, is a purpose-built freighter completed by Boeing in 2015 as a Boeing 747-8F (747-83QF/SCD), serial number 60119. The airframe is recorded in trust ownership under UMB BANK NA, Trustee and appears on the US registry as US-registered cargo equipment. Its manufacturer lineage and construction batch place it among the late-production 747-8 freighters; title is held by a corporate trustee rather than an airline operator, indicating financial or lease-related ownership structure rather than direct airline operation. Notable registry actions are limited to the provided ownership entry; no operator name, home base, or remark of commercial service is included in the supplied data.

The aircraft is configured in a main-deck freighter layout, featuring a nose cargo door and multiple main-deck pallet positions suitable for large and bulky freight consignments. With its factory freighter conversion designation (SCD) and the 747-8F structural arrangement, the cabin layout is optimized for palletized cargo throughput and ground handling efficiency rather than passenger accommodation. Typical mission profiles for this configuration focus on intercontinental and long-range heavy cargo routes that leverage the aircraft’s extended-range capability and high-payload main-deck capacity. Avionics and airline-specific fit are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations center on four high-bypass GEnx powerplants and 747-8-specific structural inspection regimes inherent to large quadjet freighters.

The Boeing 747-8F (747-83QF/SCD) occupies the heavy freighter niche with long-range capability and one of the largest main-deck cargo volumes among production freighters. Competing types in this segment include large widebody freighters from other manufacturers; buyer and charter demand tends to favor operators needing outsized payload and nose-door loading. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the aircraft’s complex systems, the GEnx engine support network, and the market dynamics for late-production 747 freighters owned by financial trusts or lessors.
