N485GM

This airframe, registered as N485GM, is a 1997-built Gulfstream G-IV with serial number 1311. The airframe is owned by GLOBAL DESTINATIONS LLC, a corporation based in Beaumont, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The aircraft’s recorded certified capacity and operational entries show a typical executive configuration alongside a higher ferry/certified seating allowance, and its fair market valuation is listed at $5,800,000. No other publicized ownership transfers or incident records are provided in the supplied data.

The cabin of this airframe is described as a typical executive layout with a stand‑up cabin length of approximately 45.1 ft; the common operator fit is a 14‑place executive arrangement while the ferry or certified capacity is recorded as 22 seats. Avionics are recorded as the typical G‑IV fit, using Collins Pro Line (Pro Line 4) legacy Collins avionics, which are noted as upgradeable by the operator. Operationally, this configuration supports long-range business and corporate missions consistent with Gulfstream G‑IV capabilities, enabling transcontinental and intercontinental routing within the listed 4,216 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would reflect the common G‑IV program needs, including Rolls‑Royce Tay engine support and legacy avionics lifecycle planning.

The Gulfstream G‑IV airframe represented by N485GM sits within a mature large‑cabin, long‑range business jet segment where performance metrics—high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling—serve executive and charter operators. Competing models in this era include other late‑1990s large-cabin business jets offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand for older G‑IVs typically weighs operational hours, avionics vintage, and engine maintenance status against acquisition price. For this aircraft, the listed valuation of $5,800,000 and its legacy Collins Pro Line fit highlight typical resale considerations: modernization of avionics and ongoing Rolls‑Royce Tay support are primary factors affecting marketability.
