N668EM

This article documents the specific airframe N668EM, a Gulfstream-built business jet delivered in 2013 with serial number 4299. The aircraft is a Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace and is registered in the US; it is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Ownership is recorded under a corporate trustee structure, and registry entries reflect its US registration and corporate ownership; valuation records indicate a market value of $12,600,000. Maintenance and valuation notes are limited to the recorded appraised value and the standard Gulfstream documentation for the model.

The cabin of N668EM is configured for 22 seats, reflecting a high-density or corporate shuttle layout suitable for group transport or fractional operations. Avionics fit for this airframe is listed as Gulfstream PlaneView with enhanced vision options available, supporting advanced flight deck situational awareness and typical Gulfstream avionics capabilities. With a long-range capability of 4,350 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental and transborder business travel from its owner’s base in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Maintenance considerations follow the G450 airframe and Rolls-Royce Tay engine programs, and the trustee ownership structure may influence records management and disposition planning for the specific airframe.

The Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering a high cruise speed of 459 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, competing with aircraft in the same class that prioritize transcontinental range and cabin comfort. With two Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engines producing 13,850 lbf each, the type is known for a balance of performance and operating economics relevant to corporate flight departments and charter operators. Resale considerations for this specific airframe include age (built 2013), recorded ownership under BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, US registration, and the appraised value of $12,600,000, all factors that influence buyer demand and maintenance escrow expectations in the pre-owned market.
