N778CR

The airframe bearing tail N778CR is a 2006-build Gulfstream G450 (G-IV X / G450), serial 4056, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by CMR LLC, a corporation based in Chicago, IL, US. As a mid-2000s airframe with a published market value of $11,000,000, this G450 occupies a used long-range business-jet price tier consistent with its age and capability. Specific historical registry actions and operator fleet assignments beyond the current ownership are not published.

N778CR is associated with the G450’s typical cabin philosophy; the type normally offers a three-zone executive layout and common outfittings seat 12–16 passengers with high-density reconfigurations up to 22, although the specific fit for N778CR is not published. Avionics are the Gulfstream PlaneView suite (Honeywell-based), a common G450 fit, supporting long-range IFR operations and corporate mission avionics standards. Based on its ownership in Chicago, IL, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and transoceanic business travel within the aircraft’s 4,350 nm range capability, with maintenance and operational planning reflecting the two Rolls‑Royce Tay engines and mid-2000s systems vintage.

The Gulfstream G450 family occupies the long-range large-cabin business-jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and an altitude capability to FL450 as illustrated by N778CR’s 459 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. In the pre-owned market the type is valued for range, cabin flexibility, and an avionics suite that remains capable with updates; N778CR’s published value of $11,000,000 reflects those attributes along with airframe age. Prospective operators and buyers consider engine maintenance, avionics upgrade paths, and cabin refurbishments when evaluating a 2006-build G450 for continued corporate use or high-density charter roles.
