N451FX

The airframe bearing tail number N451FX is a 2015-built Gulfstream GIV‑X (G450) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace, constructor serial 4332. The aircraft is owned by LMT ILLUMINATION LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the United States under the US civil registry. No prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate ownership record. As a 2015 delivery, this airframe sits in a mid‑life position for a GIV‑X and is appraised at $12,600,000, reflecting its configuration, avionics fit and the condition expected of a purpose‑operated executive transport.

This airframe is outfitted in a typical Gulfstream executive configuration described as a 12–16 passenger layout for comfortable long‑range operations, although the Certificate of Registration notes seating for 22. The cabin includes forward and aft galleys, forward and aft lavatories, and three living areas designed to support extended overwater and transcontinental missions. Avionics are recorded as Gulfstream PlaneView (PlaneView II), supporting the flight deck automation, navigation and systems management requirements of high‑altitude, long‑range operations. Based out of Cleveland, OH via its corporate owner, the aircraft is principally suited to corporate, charter or management operations on routes requiring the G450’s intercontinental range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on the Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8C turbofans and the avionics suite lifecycle, with mid‑cycle inspections and upgraded avionics software/maintenance records influencing dispatch reliability and operating availability.

The Gulfstream GIV‑X (marketed as G450) occupies a performance niche for long‑range, high‑speed executive transport, offering transcontinental range with a cruise near 459 kts and a high‑altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in its class include other large‑cabin, long‑range business jets; buyer and charter demand typically values proven range, cabin comfort and avionics modernization, factors reflected in the $12,600,000 valuation for this 2015 airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial often center on engine overhaul status of the Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8C, completeness of the PlaneView II upgrades and the aircraft’s documented configuration of galleys, lavatories and living areas, all of which affect marketability in the corporate and charter sectors.
