N466FX

This entry covers airframe N466FX, a Gulfstream built in 2009 bearing serial number 4173, registered in the United States. The aircraft is a factory-built Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and currently recorded in the registry as owned by Flexjet LLC of Cleveland, Ohio. The registry lists a high-density seating configuration and assigns a market valuation of $12,298,000, reflecting its 2009 build year, equipment fit and operator usage history. As a corporate-operated airframe, its condition and valuation are tied to operator maintenance programs and the airframe’s long-range, large-cabin mission capability.

The airframe carries a cabin designation associated with typical executive three-zone layouts accommodating 12–16 passengers in executive configuration but the registry lists 22 seats indicating a high-density option has been fitted or documented for this airframe. The installed factory avionics suite is Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting advanced flight management, navigation and situational awareness for long-range corporate operations. Operated by Flexjet LLC, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental business missions within its 4,350 nm range and cruise profile of 459 kts, flying from a corporate base in Cleveland, Ohio. Maintenance considerations reflect twin‑engine Rolls‑Royce Tay powerplants and the expectations of fractional and charter operators for high utilization and certified inspection cycles.

The Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) niche is high‑performance, large‑cabin, long‑range corporate transport competing with like-class models offering intercontinental range and cabin comfort. Typical buyers and fractional operators demand proven avionics such as Gulfstream PlaneView, high dispatch reliability from Rolls‑Royce Tay engines and flexible cabin configurations; this airframe’s documented 22-seat capability signals adaptation for high‑density or charter roles. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2009 G450 like N466FX center on engine shop visit histories, avionics updates and the continuity of operator maintenance programs, factors that materially influence values near the stated $12,298,000 level.
