N161JC

This airframe, registered as N161JC, is a 2008-built Gulfstream G150 (serial number 266) manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd.. The aircraft is held in corporate trust by Bank Of Utah Trustee, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is operated under a United States registration. The airframe’s provenance shows a corporate ownership model consistent with trustee-holding rather than direct private individual registry, and its assessed market value is $4,995,000. Notable registry status includes operation as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet in US civil service.

The cabin is configured as an 8-place executive arrangement with a forward two-place divan opposite a single club seat, a four-place club aft, a forward galley, and a belted aft lavatory, reflecting a layout optimized for executive transport and short-notice corporate missions. Avionics on this specific airframe include a Collins Pro Line 21 suite with dual FMS, Collins TWR-850 weather radar, Collins TCAS-4000, and dual Collins FGC-3000 autopilots, supporting IFR cross-country operations and single-pilot augmentation in some mission profiles. Typical use cases for this aircraft under corporate trust ownership include transcontinental and offshore routing within the G150’s 3,000 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 459 kts, enabling efficient point-to-point executive travel. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Honeywell TFE731-40AR engines’ support network and retirements/overhaul cycles typical for late-2000s airframes.

The Gulfstream G150 occupies the light-to-medium cabin business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than many light jets while maintaining smaller operating costs than larger midsize types. Its competitors have included late-model offerings from manufacturers of light/midsize jets with similar ranges and cabin capacities; demand typically comes from corporate flight departments, charter operators, and trust-owned fleets seeking balance of speed, range, and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2008 airframe like N161JC focus on engine time, avionics currency (the Pro Line 21 remains a desirable fit), and overall-cycle refurbishment to retain the $4,995,000 valuation in secondary markets.
