N203CK

This entry covers Gulfstream G450 civil transport airframe N203CK, built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 4304 by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by MACS AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Columbus, IN, US, reflecting a single identifiable corporate ownership in the publicly supplied data. There are no additional published registry actions or operator changes provided in the dataset; valuation data lists the airframe at $17,750,000, a figure that frames its mid-life market position and condition expectations. The G450’s US registration and corporate ownership suggest operation from a domestic base with typical executive transport utilization.

The airframe carries a typical executive interior configuration listed as a 12–16 passenger layout with forward and aft galleys and forward and aft lavatories, while the type certification supports multiple floorplan options to accommodate up to 22 certified seats for other missions. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic (PlaneView) suite; the G450 platform also supports optional HUD and EVS packages, enabling enhanced situational awareness and demanding mission profiles. With a cruise speed of 459 kts and a range of 4,350 nm, this specific G450 is well suited to medium- to long-range corporate missions and cross-country charters operating from its recorded home region in Columbus, Indiana. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin Rolls‑Royce Tay Mk 611‑8C engines and the typical support pathway associated with Gulfstream type maintenance.

The Gulfstream G450 family occupies the large-cabin, mid‑to‑long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability at high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its class include other large-cabin Gulfstream variants and rival platforms that balance range, cabin comfort, and operating economics. Buyer and charter demand for a 2014-built G450 like N203CK is influenced by its factory avionics fit, optional vision systems, twin Tay engine support, and the listed market value of $17,750,000, all factors that affect maintenance planning, residual value, and resale timelines.
