N298RB

This airframe, registered as N298RB, is a Gulfstream G-IV (G-IVSP) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace in 1998 with serial number 1341. The aircraft is owned by SMB G-IV IV LLC, an LLC based in Longwood, FL, US, and carries a US registration. There are no additional public records of other operators or notable registry actions provided here; the listed market valuation for this airframe is $4,700,000, which reflects its age and configuration. The airframe’s condition and valuation are summarized by that figure and its documented specifications rather than by any further reported incident or transaction history.

The cabin of this G‑IVSP is typically configured for 12–14 executive passengers, with operators commonly fitting a 13‑place executive layout; the specific data for this airframe lists an overall seating capacity of 22, indicating flexibility for mixed passenger/crew or high-density arrangements. Typical G‑IVSP interiors include a forward crew area, a full-service galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, features noted as common on G‑IVSP layouts and applicable to this airframe. Operationally, the airframe’s range of 4,220 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts support transcontinental and some transoceanic missions under an executive charter or corporate transport profile, based from its owner’s Longwood, Florida location. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin Rolls‑Royce TAY engines and the mature systems of a late‑1990s Gulfstream, meaning established support networks but also scheduled heavy checks commensurate with aircraft of this vintage.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IVSP) occupies a performance niche as a large‑cabin, long‑range corporate jet from the late 1990s, offering a combination of transcontinental range and high cruise speed for its class. Competing models in the period and secondary market include large-cabin jets from Bombardier and Dassault, and buyer demand tends to favor well‑maintained, properly equipped examples with proven maintenance records. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its 1998 manufacture date, TAY 611SER twin‑engine fit, and the documented valuation of $4,700,000, which buyers and operators use to gauge life‑cycle costs and refit needs.
