N221JR

This entry covers the specific Gulfstream airframe bearing tail number N221JR, a 2012-production example of the Gulfstream G450 built by Gulfstream Aerospace with manufacturer serial 4257. The aircraft is currently owned by NORTHVIEW AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in The Woodlands, TX, US, and is recorded on the US registry; registered in the United States and operated from its owner’s Texas base. Notable registry actions are limited to the current ownership record; the airframe’s market valuation is assessed at $12,600,000, reflecting its generation, equipment fit and year of manufacture.

The airframe retains a typical executive large‑cabin layout commonly fitted in G450s, with forward and aft lavatories and full galley options and a certified seating capability listed at 22, though most operator configurations deploy 12–18 executive seats. The avionics complement is the commonly fitted Honeywell Primus Epic / Gulfstream PlaneView‑class avionics, supporting typical long‑range business missions and advanced flight operations. Operated from The Woodlands, TX, US by NORTHVIEW AVIATION LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on transcontinental and near‑intercontinental executive transport within the aircraft’s 4,363 nm capability and cruise speed of 459 kts. Maintenance considerations follow G450 program practices for twin‑engine Rolls‑Royce TAY powerplants and large‑cabin systems integration.

The Gulfstream G450 sits in the large‑cabin, long‑range business jet niche, offering a mix of range, cabin size and performance such as a 45,000 ft ceiling and high cruise speed. Competing models occupy similar mission roles, and buyer or charter demand for this model is influenced by configured cabin, avionics fit like the Honeywell Primus Epic / Gulfstream PlaneView‑class avionics, and engine maintenance status of the TAY 611‑8C fleet. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2012 vintage, installed equipment and the quoted market value of $12,600,000.
