N18TV

The airframe bearing tail number N18TV is a 1997-built Gulfstream G‑IV, constructor serial 1315, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. It is registered in the United States and currently owned by the corporation JAX G ENTERPRISES LLC, located in Scottsdale, AZ, US, which serves as the listed operator/home base for the aircraft. The US registry permits an interior configuration of up to 22 seats while the typical executive layout carried on this registry is configured for 12–14 places. Valuation and condition summaries list the airframe at $2,815,000, which reflects market positioning for late-1990s large-cabin business jets of this model.

This specific Gulfstream G‑IV is typically outfitted in a conventional executive cabin layout accommodating 12–14 passengers in comfort while the registry permits up to 22 seats for higher-density configurations. The aircraft carries a common G‑IV series avionics fitment, the Honeywell SPZ‑8000, supporting long-range, high‑speed cruise operations and modern navigation and flight management functions. With a mission range of 4,220 nm and a cruise speed of 460 kts, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and transoceanic business missions operated from its Scottsdale, Arizona base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe reflect its twin Rolls‑Royce TAY 611‑8 engines with 12,450 lbf thrust each, a powerplant type that informs typical inspection cycles and support logistics.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family occupies a large-cabin, long-range performance niche, providing higher-speed cruise and greater range than many mid-size business jets. Competing models historically include other large-cabin types offering transcontinental capability; demand in the used market typically targets corporate buyers and charter operators seeking proven range and cabin size. For this airframe, the 1997 build year and listed value of $2,815,000 are important factors for resale comparisons and maintenance budgeting, as older G‑IV airframes require focused attention on avionics updates and engine program status to retain operational and market value.
