N779AZ

This airframe, registered as N779AZ, is a 2007-built Gulfstream G450 with manufacturer serial number 4089. The aircraft is owned by PITTCO AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Memphis, TN, US, and is registered in the US to PITTCO AVIATION LLC. The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet built by Gulfstream Aerospace and carries a reported market value of $12,298,000. Registry and valuation records indicate an in-service executive configuration and continued corporate operation from its Memphis base.

The cabin of N779AZ follows the G450’s typical three-zone executive layout, which commonly accommodates 12–14 executive seats, but this specific airframe is outfitted with 22 seats and includes a forward crew area, optional forward galley and a full aft lavatory; baggage capacity is approximately 169 cu ft. Avionics are provided by the Honeywell PlaneView / Primus Epic integrated suite, supporting modern FMS, EFIS and integrated flight-management capabilities suitable for long-range corporate operations. Typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental and transoceanic corporate and charter flights within the G450’s ~4,350 nm range and high-speed cruise capability, operating primarily from Memphis as its home base. Maintenance considerations follow Rolls-Royce TAY engine cycles and Gulfstream structural/avionics service programs customary for a 2007-model G450.

The Gulfstream G450 occupies a mid-to-large-cabin long-range business-jet niche with high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, appealing to corporate buyers requiring intercontinental range without ultra-long-range pricing. Competing models in similar mission profiles include late-model Bombardier Challengers and early Gulfstream G550s; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine life limits, avionics retrofits and completion condition. With its Honeywell PlaneView fit and a three-zone executive cabin, N779AZ remains relevant for charter operators and corporate flight departments seeking a blend of speed, payload and range at its assessed value.
