N229KM

This airframe, N229KM, is a Gulfstream G-V (Gulfstream V) built in 1996 with manufacturer serial number 504. The type was produced by Gulfstream Aerospace and is registered in the United States; it is recorded as owned by MIKE POST PRODUCTIONS INC (a Corporation based in Burbank, CA, US). The aircraft’s registry data and corporate ownership identify its operator/home base as Burbank, California, and its last reported market valuation stood at $9,800,000. Registered to a U.S. corporate operator and retained in corporate service, the airframe represents a late-1990s long-range business jet example with documented serial and registration details.

The Gulfstream V airframe N229KM typically supports long-range corporate transport missions consistent with its 20-seat configuration and 6,500 nm range, enabling transcontinental and intercontinental routings from its Burbank base. Cabin layout and specific avionics fit for this individual aircraft are not published in the supplied data; operational use is implied to be corporate transport under the ownership of MIKE POST PRODUCTIONS INC. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the BR700-series engine family and Gulfstream V airframe programs, including specialized inspections and component life-limited items associated with late-1990s production examples.

The Gulfstream G-V family occupies the long-range business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and transoceanic capability relative to smaller long-range types; the example N229KM reflects these qualities with 549 kts cruise and a 51,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in this performance bracket include other late-generation large-cabin long-range business jets. Buyers and charter customers evaluate examples like this on engine program status, avionics updates, and calendar/airframe time; resale and maintenance considerations for a 1996 Gulfstream V include component life limits and the value point represented by the reported $9,800,000 valuation.
