N176MG

This airframe, registered as N176MG, is a 2002-built Gulfstream G-IV (G400) with serial number 1501. It is owned by FLYING ORCHARD LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US, and operates from that ownership base under United States registration. The aircraft's registry and ownership history are straightforward with no other operators listed in the provided data; current ownership is held by a corporate LLC in Missoula. Valuation data lists the airframe at $6,495,000, reflecting market assessment for a G-IV of this vintage and configuration.

The cabin is fitted in an executive layout and is operator-configured for approximately 10–13 passengers according to charter and operator listings, with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory specified. With a certified seating capacity of 22, the interior arrangement emphasizes corporate/charter comfort rather than maximum passenger density. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-range corporate and charter flights enabled by a 4,100 nm range and high-speed cruise of 459 kts, consistent with transcontinental and transoceanic sectors within operator planning. Maintenance considerations follow those typical of late-model Gulfstream G-IV airframes powered by Rolls‑Royce TAY engines; ongoing maintenance status or specific avionics fit are not published in the supplied data.

The Gulfstream G-IV (G400) occupies a long-range, large-cabin business-jet niche offering high cruise speed and transcontinental capability. Competing types in its era include other large-cabin business jets that balance payload, range, and speed; demand for such airframes is driven by corporate, fractional and charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect factors such as airframe age (2002), engine TAY-series support, and current valuation at $6,495,000, which prospective buyers and operators weigh against cabin condition and maintenance records.
