Default UPS fleet update

Quote from UPS Fact Sheets

UPS 747-400 Freighter

Quote:

UPS has committed to purchasing a total of 14 747-400 freighters. Eight of them will be new aircraft and four will come from Cargolux; all 12 will have nose-cargo loading doors. The remaining two are former EVA Airlines 747-400 "combi" aircraft that do not have nose-cargo doors and will be converted to full freighter configuration.

N578UP B747-45E(BDSF) ex rego B-16461 line/con 994/27154 selcal DHGR hex code A76DF1
N579UP B747-45E(SCD) ex rego B-16465 line/con 1016/26062 selcal AEDR hex code 899052
