N156AM

The airframe bearing tail number N156AM is a 1996-built Gulfstream G-IV SP manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, serial 1296. The airframe is recorded as owned by Kenmore Crew Leasing Inc Trustee (a corporate trustee based in Bellingham, WA, US) and is U.S.-registered. Operational records and listing excerpts reference this airframe's executive configuration and avionics fit; ownership is held by a corporate trustee in Bellingham, with the operator/home base activity tied to that locale in registry entries. Public sales and listing pages for MSN 1296 highlight its 14-place executive layout and typical G‑IVSP equipment fit.

The cabin for MSN 1296 is listed on sales and listing pages with a typical executive layout showing a 14‑place executive configuration, reflecting common VIP interior arrangements for G‑IVSPs. Avionics are reported as a typical Gulfstream fit with Honeywell SPZ‑8000, and some listings reference Honeywell DU series displays or DU‑880 units as installed or available. With a 4,091 nm range and high cruise of 459 kts, this airframe is configured for long-range executive transport, frequently deployed on transcontinental and transborder missions from its operator base region. Maintenance considerations follow standard G‑IVSP protocols for aging mid‑1990s airframes, with attention to engine program support for the Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8 powerplants and avionics upgrades noted in listing histories.

The Gulfstream G‑IV SP (G‑IVSP) family occupies the long‑range heavy business jet niche, offering intercontinental capability and high cruise speed for executive operations. Competing models in its era include later large-cabin Gulfstream variants and comparable heavy jets from Bombardier and Dassault; buyer and charter demand for well‑maintained G‑IVSPs typically hinges on cabin condition, avionics modernization (e.g., DU‑series upgrades), and engine maintenance status. For MSN 1296, resale and operational value are influenced by its documented 14‑place executive layout, the installed Honeywell systems, and the condition of the Rolls‑Royce Tay engines.
