N460AK

The aircraft bearing tail number N460AK is a Gulfstream G-IV airframe built in 2000, serial number 1413, and manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by TANGIER SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Mill Valley, CA, US; this ownership is the primary entry in public registration records. The aircraft is certificated/listed with 22 seats on its US registration—a notable registry entry given typical executive Gulfstream G‑IV layouts more commonly show roughly 13–19 passengers. No separate public valuation or independent condition report is published in the supplied data.

This specific G‑IV is listed with an executive cabin configuration and 22 seats on the registration, although typical G‑IV executive interiors vary; the registration note highlights this particular airframe’s higher-seat listing. The aircraft’s twin Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8 powerplants and a maximum operating altitude of 45,000 ft suit long‑range, high‑speed corporate or charter missions up to about 4,168 nm at cruise speeds near 459 kts. With ownership based in Mill Valley, CA, the likely operational footprint would include transcontinental and transoceanic charters or corporate transport from West Coast bases, consistent with G‑IV mission profiles. Specific avionics fit, interior finishes, and recent maintenance status are not provided in the supplied data.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV / G‑IV‑SP) family occupies the large, long‑range executive jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental capability that competes with late‑model Bombardier Challengers and early-model Gulfstream G‑Vs and Falcon 900 series aircraft. Buyer and charter demand for a 2000‑built G‑IV depends heavily on cabin configuration and maintenance history; the unique registry listing of 22 seats on this airframe may affect its mission flexibility and resale considerations compared with more typical lower‑capacity executive interiors. Maintenance considerations for the type center on mature airframe and Tay engine support and adherence to Gulfstream retrofits and life‑limit programs.
