N551CB

The airframe bearing tail number N551CB is a Gulfstream G-IV SP built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 1449. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporation MODERN INDUSTRIAL SERVICES INC, based in Beaumont, TX, US. Over its life this specific airframe has been maintained as a fixed-wing multi-engine corporate transport and is currently valued at $5,000,000, reflecting its age and configuration. The current registration and ownership indicate a single corporate operator profile with a home base in Beaumont, Texas.

This individual Gulfstream G-IV SP is configured to seat 22 passengers, consistent with high-density corporate or corporate shuttle layouts rather than alternative lower-density VIP interiors. Cabin layout, fit and specific avionics for this airframe are not published in the supplied data; however, the airframe’s certified ceiling of 45,000 ft and long-range capability to 4,220 nm enable transcontinental and limited intercontinental missions consistent with corporate transport use. Based in Beaumont, TX, US, the operator’s typical missions for this airframe would center on business travel, group movement and shuttle operations within the continental United States and to nearby overseas points within range. Maintenance considerations reflect the aircraft’s twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-series powerplants, each rated at 12,450 lbf, which drive scheduled engine shop visits and lifecycle upkeep appropriate to early-2000s Gulfstream airframes.

The Gulfstream G-IV SP occupies a mid-to-large-cabin long-range business jet niche, combining high cruise speed (459 kts) and substantial range (4,220 nm) for its generation. Competing models in this performance bracket typically include late-model large-cabin business jets from other manufacturers; market demand for aircraft of this vintage leans toward corporate owners and fractional or charter operators seeking range and capacity rather than the newest avionics or cabin innovations. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 airframe focus on engine lifecycle, avionics modernization needs and airframe hours, factors that collectively influence the present valuation of $5,000,000.
