N450FK

This entry covers airframe N450FK, a Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) built in 2005 with serial number 4031. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by AIRCRAFT T&F LLC TRUSTEE (an LLC (trustee)) based in Wilmington, DE, US. Registered to the named trustee entity with US registration actions on file, the airframe is noted in valuation records at $12,600,000, reflecting mid-life market positioning and continued operational utility. Operator/home-base activity centers on the owner's Wilmington, Delaware location according to registry details.

The cabin of this specific G450 airframe is supplied in a typical three-zone executive layout accommodating 12–16 passengers, and is configurable to approximately 19 seats for denser arrangements; the overall certified seating is 22. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, with provisions for the optional Enhanced Vision / Synthetic Vision capability as installed or selectable. Operational profiles for the airframe emphasize long-range, transcontinental executive transport enabled by its 4,350 nm range and high cruise speed of 459 kts, operating from the owner’s Wilmington, DE base under US registry. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on the twin Rolls‑Royce Tay 611-8C engines and standard Gulfstream structural and avionics support cycles consistent with a 2005-built Gulfstream G450.

The Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) family occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in its era include other large-cabin, long-range business jets; buyer and charter demand typically values range, cabin flexibility, and avionics capability—attributes reflected in this airframe’s PlaneView fit and optional vision systems. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft relate to mid-life engine cycles for the Rolls‑Royce Tay units and the market valuation represented by $12,600,000, which informs ownership operating-cost planning and potential refurbishment or interior reconfiguration decisions.
