N40VC

This entry covers airframe N40VC, a factory-built Gulfstream G-IVSP constructed in 1997 with serial number 1316. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by FUERZA REGIDA CORP, a corporation based in San Bernardino, CA, US; the current record reflects that corporate ownership and associated operator-home base in Southern California. No additional historic operators or notable registry actions are published for this airframe. The airframe is valued at $5,995,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical market considerations.

The cabin of N40VC is noted as an operator-configured executive layout; it is commonly refurbished to an 11–13 passenger executive cabin but is certified for 22 seats. Typical interior elements associated with this configuration include a forward galley, club seating, a mid-cabin conference arrangement and an aft divan, reflecting the airframe’s flexibility for both executive transport and higher-density passenger certification. Avionics fit for this specific airframe: Not published. Typical missions for a G-IVSP of this specification and range encompass medium- to long-range corporate transport and group executive travel originating from its operator base in San Bernardino, with maintenance and amenity considerations driven by the Rolls-Royce TAY 611-8 engine type and later-model systems retrofit cycles.

As a member of the Gulfstream G-IVSP family built by Gulfstream Aerospace, N40VC occupies a performance niche characterized by transcontinental range and fast cruise typical of late-1990s long-range business jets. Competing models in the same era and market bracket include other large-cabin, long-range business jets; buyer and charter demand for well-maintained G-IVSP airframes generally rests on engine condition, interior refurbishment status and avionics updates. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically center on the life and overhaul status of its twin Rolls-Royce TAY 611-8 engines and the cost-to-value balance implied by its $5,995,000 valuation.
