The aircraft is owned by MERLE NORMAN COSMETICS INC, a corporation based in Los Angeles, CA, US, and is registered in the US.

The subject Gulfstream IV features an 11‑passenger executive interior finished with American walnut woodwork, arranged with a forward club and divan, mid and aft club groups, a forward crew lavatory and a full aft lavatory, plus an aft galley. Avionics fit includes a Honeywell Plane Deck with DU‑885 displays, Triple Laseref IV IRUs, and NZ‑2010 FMS software updates reported, supporting long-range corporate operations and modern navigation/flight-management capability for the platform. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would be transcontinental to intercontinental corporate transport utilizing the aircraft’s 4,220 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed from its operator base in Los Angeles. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include aging-system support for 1990 Gulfstream IV airframes and continued serviceability of the Rolls‑Royce TAY 611‑8 engines.
The Gulfstream IV (G‑IV) occupies a long-established niche as a large-cabin, long-range corporate jet with a high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft, competing historically with other long-range business jets of its era. Demand for classic G‑IV airframes on the pre-owned market is driven by operators seeking large-cabin comfort and range at lower acquisition cost versus newer types; this particular airframe’s valuation at $2,815,000 reflects that tradeoff. Prospective buyers and charter operators consider engine program status, avionics upgrades such as the reported NZ‑2010 FMS updates, and cabin refurbishment when assessing maintenance burdens and resale prospects.
