N60GG

This entry describes airframe N60GG, a Gulfstream G-IV (G-IVSP) built in 1998 with serial number 1351. The airframe is manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and is registered in the US. Ownership is documented to SUPERIOR TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATES INC, a corporate owner based in Costa Mesa, CA, US; the aircraft’s recorded registry status reflects this corporate holding and operation from that home base. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this specific airframe.

The subject G-IVSP is configured to accommodate 22 occupants, a layout consistent with high-density business or charter missions that balance passenger capacity and comfort on long flights. With a maximum range of 4,200 nm and a long-range cruise of about 459 kts, the aircraft is capable of transcontinental and transoceanic city-pair operations typical of corporate shuttle and on-demand charter use from its base in Costa Mesa, CA, US. Propulsion is provided by a pair of Rolls-Royce TAY 611SER turbofans, which inform maintenance cycles and support requirements; operators of this airframe should plan for type-specific service intervals and parts logistics associated with the TAY series. Avionics fit and bespoke cabin amenities for this particular serial are not published, so interior refurbishment histories and specific avionics suites remain unreported.

The Gulfstream G-IV (G-IVSP) family occupies a long-established niche for large-cabin, long-range corporate business jets, offering performance in the mid-to-upper segment of late-1990s long-range bizjets. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and a range of 4,200 nm, it competes historically with types such as the Bombardier Challenger 600/601 series and the Dassault Falcon 900 family in mission capability, though each offers different cabin and performance trade-offs. Market demand for 1998-model G-IVSP airframes typically centers on corporate buyers and charter operators seeking proven long-range performance; maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe will hinge on engine TBO compliance, airframe corrosion and fatigue inspections, and any completed avionics or interior upgrades.
