Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N45ET, is a Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV/SP) built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 1405. The aircraft is owned by BRIGHT FLIGHT INC, a corporation based in Carlsbad, CA, US, and is registered in the US. No public record of multiple ownership transfers is provided here; current ownership is held by BRIGHT FLIGHT INC in Carlsbad, California. The airframe is valued at $5,800,000, reflecting its age, configuration and installed systems.

The cabin on this specific registration is outfitted in a typical executive layout with a stand‑up cabin, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; common executive fits for the model are 12–19 passengers but FlightAware lists 22 seats for N45ET. Avionics are installed as Collins Pro Line 4, a widely used integrated flight deck for the type. Operated from its owner’s base in Carlsbad, CA, the airframe’s performance figures — long range of 4,220 nm and cruise near 459 kts — make it suitable for transcontinental U.S. missions and nonstop medium‑to long‑haul regional flights. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2000 build year and the continuing support needs of the Rolls‑Royce Tay engines and legacy Pro Line 4 systems.

This example of the Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV/SP) family demonstrates the series’ blend of long‑range capability and high cruise speed, here reflected in a 4,220 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. At a listed value of $5,800,000 and with an airframe built in 2000, resale and charter demand for this specific registration will be influenced by condition, avionics configuration (Collins Pro Line 4) and engine status (Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8). Owners and buyers typically weigh the aircraft’s operational economics and refurbishment needs against its established performance envelope and cabin versatility.
