N472MM

This article describes the specific airframe registered as N472MM, a Gulfstream G‑IV built as serial 1072 by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The airframe is recorded as owned by SMB G‑IV II LLC (a corporation based in New York, NY, US) and is registered in the US. The current registration and corporate ownership are the principal notable administrative entries on file for this airframe. The airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $5,800,000, reflecting its configuration and typical G‑IV condition points for aircraft of similar vintage and usage.

The subject airframe is equipped internally in a typical executive 10–14‑place layout with club and divan seating, though the Gulfstream IV platform is certificated for up to 19–22 seats; this specific ship is outfitted to accommodate executive missions while retaining the certification potential for higher‑density configurations. Avionics on many G‑IVs have been retrofitted with Collins Pro Line 4 and this airframe reflects that common upgrade pathway, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight‑management capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this G‑IV include transcontinental and long overwater flights within its 4,220 nm range at cruise speeds near 459 kts, operated from business and corporate bases; the corporate owner in New York suggests primary operations from Northeastern U.S. hubs. Maintenance considerations follow G‑IV norms for twin‑engine Rolls‑Royce Tay powerplants and retrofit avionics upgrades.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family occupies the large, long‑range executive transport niche, offering intercontinental capability with high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing types include other large-cabin business jets with similar range and capacity; the G‑IV’s established support network and common retrofit paths such as Collins Pro Line 4 sustain buyer and charter demand. Resale and maintenance economics for airframes like N472MM are influenced by engine status, avionics upgrades, interior condition and a documented corporate ownership history, factors that together help explain the aircraft’s estimated value of $5,800,000.
