N156WJ

This entry covers airframe N156WJ, a 1998-built Gulfstream business jet, serial number 1347, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by 156WJ LLC, an LLC based in Farmingdale, NY, US; the airframe’s registry and ownership are recorded under that corporate owner. No other operators or ownership transfers are published in the supplied data. As of the provided valuation the airframe is appraised at $4,750,000, and it is classified as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport configured and certificated for up to 22 seats.

The airframe operates in the typical executive interior tradition of the G‑IV series: the cabin is described as a typical executive layout commonly seating 12–14 passengers in an executive configuration while remaining certificated for up to 22 seats. Standard interior elements noted for this airframe include a forward galley and an aft lavatory, consistent with long‑range executive missions. With a design cruise of 459 kts and an endurance allowing 3,880 nm ferry range, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and transoceanic point‑to‑point corporate flights operated from its Farmingdale, New York base. Maintenance considerations follow the twin‑turbofan type‑rating and support patterns for Rolls‑Royce TAY‑powered Gulfstreams, with inspections and component support driven by engine and airframe hours consistent with a 1998 serial.

This airframe is a member of the Gulfstream G‑IV family (G‑IV SP variant), a long‑range, high‑speed executive jet that occupies the large‑cabin, intercontinental niche. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and long‑range capability, the model competes with contemporaries such as older versions of the Bombardier Challenger series and earlier Dassault Falcon types. Buyer and charter demand for late‑1990s G‑IV airframes typically reflects considerations of maintenance status, refurbishments, engine overhaul life, and overall condition; the supplied valuation of $4,750,000 aligns with market expectations for mature, well‑maintained examples certificated for up to 22 seats.
