Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N701WC is a 2011-built Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) with serial number 4224. It is owned by Kalihiwai Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Aspen, CO, US, and is registered in the US. This specific airframe pairs Gulfstream's GIV‑X generation configuration with Rolls‑Royce Tay powerplants and retains its manufacturer-standard systems specification as delivered in 2011. Operator activity and formal registry events beyond the current ownership and registration details are documented under the cited tail and serial identifiers.
The cabin of this Gulfstream G450 is configured to accommodate 22 seats, reflecting a high-density or corporate charter-friendly interior arrangement for this individual airframe. Avionics fitted to the aircraft are from the Gulfstream PlaneView family (Primus Epic / PlaneView), supporting modern flight-management and systems integration for typical business-aviation operations. With a long-range capability of 4,350 nm and a cruise of 459 kts, the airframe is suitable for transcontinental and transoceanic mission profiles operated from its base in Aspen, CO, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its twin Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8C engines and the lifecycle of PlaneView avionics elements as originally installed.
As a Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) airframe, serial 4224 occupies the mid-to-large cabin, long-range business-jet niche within Gulfstream’s product line, offering a combination of speed, altitude capability to 45,000 ft, and extended range of 4,350 nm. The 2011 build year places this aircraft in a cohort that balances modern avionics (PlaneView) with established airframe maturity, factors commonly considered by buyers and charter operators assessing demand and resale potential. Engine type—Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8C—and the aircraft’s high-density 22-seat fit influence maintenance planning and market positioning for corporate or charter use.
