Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N163JW, is a 1988-built Gulfstream G-IV with manufacturer serial number 1071. The aircraft is recorded as owned by GO VECTOR ONE LLC (an LLC based in PLS VRDS EST, CA, US), which is the documented title holder and operator/home-base stakeholder in current registry entries. The G-IV airframe has a long-established configuration and certificate basis consistent with late-1980s production examples; no additional ownership timeline events or major registry actions beyond the listed owner are reported in the provided data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied dataset.
The cabin of this G-IV is described as a typical executive layout with a forward galley, club seating in the main cabin and an aft lavatory; while certified for 22 seats, the airframe is commonly fitted to accommodate 12–18 executive passengers in practice. Avionics in the type fleet are reported as Collins Pro Line / Pro Line II variants, though the specific installed fit on this serial is noted to vary by retrofit and is not explicitly listed for this airframe. Operationally, the platform’s range of 4,200 nm and cruise of 459 kts align it for transcontinental and transoceanic executive missions; maintenance considerations follow the G-IV common support path for late-1980s Gulfstream airframes and any avionics retrofit history impacts continuing compliance and upgrade planning.
The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a long-range, large-cabin business jet niche introduced in the 1980s, prized for its combination of range, speed and cabin comfort relative to contemporaries. Competitors in its era and secondary market include other large-cabin types offering transcontinental capability; buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-documented maintenance and updated avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine time and overhaul history for the TAY MK 610-8 engines and any Pro Line avionics upgrades, which materially affect marketability and operational cost profiles.
