N154C

The airframe bearing registration N154C is a 2002-built Gulfstream G-IV (G-IVSP), serial number 1493, recorded as owned by RED RIVER AIRCRAFT LEASING LLC, an Anchorage, Alaska–based limited liability company. The aircraft is U.S.-registered and is valued at $5,750,000 in current records, reflecting market-condition pricing for early-2000s long-range business jets. The airframe’s documented equipment and interior flexibility indicate it has been maintained to support executive transport roles rather than heavy commercial use. Ownership by a leasing LLC based in Anchorage suggests utilization in charter or corporate lease operations with potential seasonal deployment to and from Alaska.

The cabin is typically fitted in a 14–19 place executive layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, while multiple interior layouts remain possible to suit lessee requirements; overall seating capacity is listed as 22, indicating alternate high-density configurations are feasible. Avionics for a typical G-IV/G-IVSP equipage are shown as Honeywell SPZ-8000, supporting standard long-range navigation, communications and flight management functions for transcontinental and North Pacific operations. With a cruise speed near 459 kts and a range of 4,091 nm, this specific airframe is well suited for executive transcontinental and regional charter missions, including routes to and from Alaska when operated from its Anchorage base. Maintenance considerations for this type—two Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8 turbofans—align with mid-life heavy checks customary for early-2000s Gulfstream airframes.

The Gulfstream G-IV (G-IVSP) occupies a long-range business jet niche offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range for its vintage, competing historically with late-model Bombardier and Dassault offerings. Buyers and charter operators value the G-IV family for cabin comfort, speed and reliability, though maintenance and engine support costs for Tay engines factor into resale pricing—reflected in the listed $5,750,000 valuation. Given the aircraft’s age and typical avionics fit, prospective operators consider avionics upgrades, interior refurbishment options and inspection history when assessing operational readiness and long-term marketability.
