N1986R

The airframe bearing tail number N1986R is a Gulfstream GIV‑X (G450) built in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 4263. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by RTS ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE INC, a corporate owner based in Overland Park, KS, US; this ownership is the principal recorded registry entry for the airframe. The airframe presents as a purpose‑configured executive transport with a reported market valuation of $12,600,000, and its registration and valuation history reflect a mature mid‑cycle business jet with typical corporate ownership documentation.

The cabin of this specific GIV‑X is described as a flexible executive layout, commonly fitted for 12–22 seats and equipped with forward and aft galley areas and forward and aft lavatories, enabling mixed passenger/corporate mission profiles and multi‑leg executive travel. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting modern flightdeck workflows, situational awareness, and long‑range IFR operations consistent with the model. Typical operations for this airframe include transcontinental and intercontinental corporate missions within its 4,350 nm range and cruise performance around 459 knots, based from its corporate owner’s principal location in Overland Park, KS; maintenance considerations follow twin‑engine Rolls‑Royce Tay program requirements and Gulfstream scheduled maintenance cycles.

The Gulfstream GIV‑X (G450) occupies a long‑range, large‑cabin niche for corporate operators seeking transcontinental capability without the step up to ultra‑long‑range types; its ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise performance balance speed and efficiency for executive missions. Competing models in the segment include late‑generation large‑cabin jets offering similar range and cabin comfort; buyer and charter demand for well‑maintained G450s remains steady due to proven systems and operational flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status for the Rolls‑Royce Tay units, avionics standardization around PlaneView, and the airframe’s configuration and logbook completeness when valuing examples around the reported $12,600,000 figure.
