N450ME

The airframe bearing tail number N450ME is a 2017-built Gulfstream G450, serial number 4361, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. It is owned by 53 WILDCAT LLC, a corporation based in Opa-Locka, Florida, and operates on a United States registration; the current ownership is recorded as a corporate entity in Opa-Locka, FL. The airframe’s records indicate a modern executive configuration and a market valuation in the mid-twenties of millions, reflecting preserved systems and contemporary avionics. Maintenance and registry actions have centered on standard corporate-operator servicing and compliance with U.S. civil aviation requirements.

The cabin of N450ME is configured in a typical executive layout with main-cabin seating normally ranging 12–16 but certified for up to 22 passengers, and features forward and aft galley and lavatory provisions depending on the specific fit. Avionics are equipped with Gulfstream PlaneView II, supporting advanced flight management, integrated navigation, and cockpit situational awareness suited to long-range executive missions. Operated from its Florida base, the aircraft is commonly employed on transcontinental and transoceanic corporate missions consistent with its 4,350 nm range and high-speed cruise capability. Routine maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on preserving the Rolls-Royce Tay engines and avionics currency under corporate operator cycles, as well as adherence to Gulfstream-recommended service bulletins.

The Gulfstream G450 family occupies a performance niche of long-range, high-speed large-cabin business jets, offering a balance of range, speed, and cabin capacity. In the market it competes with aircraft such as comparable large-cabin twins from Dassault and Bombardier for corporate and charter buyers seeking transcontinental performance. Demand for well-equipped G450s remains steady among corporate operators and fractional providers; resale values such as $25,000,000 for late-model, well-maintained examples reflect continued appeal but require attention to life-limited components and avionics upgrades when assessing maintenance and lifecycle costs.
