N144AB

This airframe, registered as N144AB, is a Gulfstream G-IV built in 1988 with manufacturer serial number 1065. The aircraft is manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace and is registered in the US; current title records indicate ownership by Fly Evolution LLC (an LLC based in La Puente, CA, US). The transfer into the Fly Evolution LLC account is the most recent notable ownership action on public records. The airframe is presently valued at $2,500,000, a figure that reflects age, configuration, and documented certificated seating variations.

Operator reports describe a typical executive cabin configuration accommodating 13–14 passengers, while certificated entries for this airframe show up to 22 seats in some records, indicating flexibility between executive and higher-density layouts. No specific factory or aftermarket avionics fit is published in the supplied data; routine operations are consistent with long-range business missions exploiting the airframe’s 4,220 nm range and high-speed cruise of 459 kts. Based at the operator’s location in La Puente, CA, US, missions for this airframe would commonly include transcontinental and transborder charter or corporate transport. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft are governed by the original Rolls‑Royce Tay 611-8 engine type and the G-IV airframe maturity; documented certificated seating variations may affect interior certification and weight-and-balance records.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies the long-range, high-speed business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speeds relative to older large-cabin types. Competing models in the era and market include late-model large-cabin Gulfstreams and long-range offerings from other manufacturers; buyer and charter demand for a 1988 airframe depends heavily on refurbishment, avionics upgrades, and engine program status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the age-driven need for structural and system inspections, the cost and availability of Tay 611-8 engine support, and the impact of interior configuration variability on passenger role and valuation.
