N270SC

The airframe bearing tail number N270SC is a Gulfstream G-IV (Gulfstream IV-SP) built in 1993, with manufacturer serial number 1229. It is owned and operated by Trans-Exec Air Service Inc, a corporation based in Van Nuys, CA, US, and is U.S.-registered. There are no additional published registry actions or subsequent ownership changes listed beyond its current corporate registration. Valuation estimates for this specific airframe place it at $5,800,000, reflecting its age, equipment level, and market position among early-1990s G-IVSPs.

This specific Gulfstream IV-SP typically carries a standard executive cabin layout that is variable by fit; while certificated for 22 seats, it is commonly configured for approximately 12–14 passengers in an executive arrangement. The airframe’s mission profile aligns with long-range executive transport and on-demand chartering, exploiting a 4,220 nm range and a high-speed cruise of 459 kts for transcontinental and intercontinental flights from its operator base in Van Nuys. Avionics and specific interior fitment are not published for this airframe, so cabin amenities and exact seating arrangements will depend on the operator’s chosen refurbishment or bespoke configuration. Maintenance considerations reflect the G-IVSP’s twin Rolls-Royce Tay powerplants and the airframe’s 1993 build year, which influence inspection cycles, part availability, and operating costs under corporate or charter utilization.

The Gulfstream G-IV (Gulfstream IV-SP) family occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate transport niche and is noted for a combination of transcontinental range, comfortable cabin volume, and high cruise speed. Comparable competitors historically include late-model Bombardier Challengers and Dassault Falcon series variants; the G-IVSP’s twin Tay engines deliver thrust of 12,450 lbf each supporting its 45,000 ft ceiling and long-range capability. Buyer and charter demand for early-1990s airframes tends to focus on total time, maintenance history, and interior refurbishment status, factors that directly affect resale value and operating economics for a 1993-build example valued here at $5,800,000.
