N959WW

The airframe bearing tail number N959WW is a freighter variant of the Boeing 747-400 built in 1998 by The Boeing Company, with manufacturer serial number 28959. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; this ownership is the principal documented registry entry. The aircraft is configured as a dedicated main-deck freighter and operates within the heavy cargo segment; valuation and public condition assessments for this specific airframe are not published.

This airframe is outfitted in a main-deck freighter configuration featuring a nose cargo door and side cargo door with pallet/ULD capability on the main deck and ULD positions in the lower hold. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include long-range heavy cargo operations, intercontinental freight services, and time-sensitive palletized freight movements consistent with a 747-400F’s performance envelope. The documented owner is a corporate trustee in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the US registration indicates operation under US registry oversight; specific operator or base-of-operations details beyond the trustee ownership are not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would reflect typical 747-400F practices—support for main-deck cargo handling systems and lower-hold ULD stowage—tailored to a 1998-build aircraft.

The Boeing 747-400F sits in the large, long-range freighter niche, offering substantial main-deck volume and intercontinental range, exemplified by the 4,445 nm capability of this airframe. Competing types in the heavy freighter market include modernized widebodies and converted passenger-to-freighter aircraft; demand for older 747-400Fs is influenced by payload capability, fuel efficiency relative to newer types, and maintenance/resale considerations tied to an airframe built in 1998. Ownership through a trustee corporation reflects common financing and title-holding structures in the freighter sector.
