N316VB

This airframe, registered as N316VB, is a 1999-built Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV SP) with serial number 1377, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation LIVING WORD CHRISTIAN CENTER of Forest Park, IL, US, and is shown on the U.S. registry with an executive cabin fit. Registered in the United States and operated from the owner’s base in Forest Park, Illinois, the airframe’s registry entry documents a 22-seat executive layout. Market valuation records list the airframe at $4,700,000, reflecting its age, role, and configuration rather than specific maintenance or damage history.

The cabin of N316VB is described in registry data as an executive layout with 22 seats, consistent with the upper end of typical Gulfstream G‑IV interior fits (which commonly vary between 12–22 passengers). The configuration supports long‑range business or organizational transport missions; with a published range of 4,216 nautical miles and a cruise speed near 459 knots, the airframe is suited for transcontinental and trans‑border flights without en route stops. Specific avionics fit and interior amenity details are not published in the provided data, although the executive layout implies provisions for passenger communications and comfort. Routine operations and maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Gulfstream G‑IV standards and corporate upkeep practices typical for a corporate operator based in the U.S.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV SP) family occupies the large-cabin, long‑range business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range that appeal to corporate, charter, and institutional buyers. Competitors in the class include older large-cabin designs that offer similar range and capacity; demand for 1990s‑era G‑IVs is driven by price sensitivity, upgrade potential, and maintenance status. For N316VB, the listed valuation of $4,700,000 and its 1999 build year place it in a segment where buyers weigh refurbishment and avionics modernization against operating costs and remaining lifecycle. Maintenance, parts availability, and the aircraft’s documented cabin configuration are key resale and operational considerations for prospective operators.
