Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N5MC, is a Gulfstream G‑IV SP built in 1993 with manufacturer serial number 1218. The aircraft is recorded as owned by GEORGETOWN INTERSTATE AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Santa Barbara, CA, US, and remains on the United States civil register. There are no public records here of multiple prior owners or notable registry actions beyond its current corporate ownership; the entry of GEORGETOWN INTERSTATE AVIATION INC as owner is the principal documented change in its corporate history. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.
This Gulfstream G‑IV SP is fitted with a 22-seat executive layout that is described as operator‑configurable, indicating interior arrangements can be modified to suit corporate transport or high‑density charter roles. Specific avionics fit and retrofit history are not published in the provided data; however, the airframe's twin Rolls‑Royce Tay powerplants with 13,850 lbf thrust each support typical transcontinental and transoceanic business missions within its 3,800 nm ferry capability. Based in Santa Barbara, CA under corporate ownership, the aircraft would typically be operated on U.S. domestic and offshore routes that demand high speed and a long-range executive configuration. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe center on the age of the airframe (built in 1993) and the service history of the Tay engines, though no individual maintenance records are supplied.
The Gulfstream G‑IV SP occupies the long‑range large‑cabin executive transport niche, offering cruise speeds around 460 kts and service ceilings up to 45,000 ft, competing with contemporaries in the late‑1990s large corporate jet market. Buyers and charter operators value the G‑IV SP for its balance of speed, range, and cabin capacity; the 22‑seat configurable interior on this airframe emphasizes flexibility for corporate shuttle or high‑capacity executive missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1993 airframe typically focus on engine life limits, avionics modernization, and interior refurbishment, factors that materially affect market demand for examples such as N5MC.
