N161MM

This entry describes the specific airframe N161MM, a 2003-built Gulfstream G-IV with serial number 1511. The airframe is recorded as owned by RYE & OLIVE LLC (an LLC based in Naples, FL, US) and is registered in the US. The listing reflects a current market valuation of $5,800,000, and the aircraft has the certification capacity to carry up to 22 seats in its type configuration. Operated for corporate or private transport from its Naples, Florida base under LLC ownership, the airframe’s documented registry and valuation indicate a mature airframe typical of early-2000s Gulfstream G-IVs.

The cabin of N161MM follows a typical executive layout common to the G-IV platform, normally fitted for 12–14 passengers in an executive configuration but certificated up to 22 seats for higher-density operations. Avionics fitment is reported as the platform-standard Collins Pro Line or legacy G-IV suites, acknowledging that specific retrofits vary and many G-IV airframes operate with Collins Pro Line equipment. With a long-range capability of 4,220 nm and a cruise speed near 460 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental or region-spanning corporate missions from its Naples, Florida operator base. Maintenance and operational profiles for this specific aircraft reflect common considerations for early-2000s large-cabin business jets, including inspection cycles for high-thrust turbofans and avionics upgrade paths.

As a member of the Gulfstream G-IV family, N161MM embodies the platform’s long-range, large-cabin performance niche within fixed-wing multi-engine business aviation, demonstrated by its 4,220 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. The airframe’s value at $5,800,000 and its certificated seating for 22 illustrate its continued utility for owners seeking a mix of passenger capacity and range in an early-2000s airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific G-IV reflect engine and avionics lifecycle choices—notably the Rolls-Royce TAY series powerplants and the prevalence of Collins Pro Line suites—which can materially affect operating cost and marketability.
