Model & Market Context

This airframe, N129NS, is a 1995-build Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV SP) with serial number 1281. The aircraft is recorded as owned by HARVEY HORSES LLC, a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries United States registration. The airframe configuration and registry list a certified seating capacity of 22 and a contemporary market valuation of $5,800,000. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data.

The registry shows this G‑IV SP certified with 22 seats while typical executive fitouts for the model place 12–14 forward‑facing passenger seats arranged in three cabin zones, commonly with a forward galley and aft lavatory(s). Avionics fit for this airframe is noted as Honeywell SPZ‑series, which is a typical factory or OEM fit, while Collins Pro Line 4 is referenced as a common retrofit option for the type. With a long range of 3,880 nm and high cruise speed of 459 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and some transoceanic executive missions; maintenance and cabin reconfiguration choices will influence its role as corporate transport or charter asset. The twin Rolls‑Royce TAY turbofans rated at 12,450 lbf each underpin the type’s performance envelope and contribute to maintenance and overhaul cost considerations specific to this engine family.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV SP) family occupies a long‑range business jet niche that balances transcontinental range with high cruise speed and substantial cabin volume for its era. Competing models in the same performance bracket typically include other large-cabin jets introduced in the 1990s and early 2000s; retrofit avionics such as Collins Pro Line 4 are commonly pursued to maintain operational capability and regulatory compliance. Given the 1995 build year and the listed valuation of $5,800,000, resale and acquisition considerations for this airframe will center on engine cycles, avionics modernization, cabin refurbishment to the noted 12–14 executive seat layouts, and remaining calendar life relative to the type’s support network.
