Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N770KS is a Gulfstream G-IV built in 1989 with serial number 1093. The aircraft is currently owned by BEST AIRCRAFT DEALS LLC, an LLC based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to a Salt Lake City–based private operator, this late-1980s airframe is presented in the civil registry with a reported market valuation of $3,500,000. Notable registry actions are limited to its current ownership and US registration; the airframe’s condition and valuation reflect its age and installed configuration.
This specific Gulfstream G-IV is certificated for 22 seats, with typical executive operator layouts accommodating 10–16 passengers; the aircraft is commonly configured for long-range corporate transport and executive missions. Based out of Salt Lake City by virtue of its listed owner, the airframe’s range of 4,220 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts support transcontinental and some transoceanic routing profiles consistent with G‑IV operational use. Cabin and systems specifics beyond seat certification are not published for this tail number, but operational considerations for this airframe include ongoing maintenance of its twin Rolls-Royce TAY MK 610-8 engines and airframe life-cycle items typical for a 1989-built aircraft. The aircraft’s certification for 22 seats provides flexibility for high-density configurations, while most operators favor 10–16 seat executive fits.
The Gulfstream G-IV occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche that balances speed, altitude capability, and payload for corporate and charter use; this airframe’s ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise of 459 kts underscore that performance envelope. Competing platforms in the same segment include other large-cabin, long-range business jets from the late 1980s and 1990s; prospective buyers evaluate engines, total time, and maintenance history when assessing airframes of this vintage. Resale and maintenance considerations for N770KS hinge on its 1989 build year and Rolls‑Royce TAY engines, factors that influence operator demand and the reported market value of $3,500,000.
