N77FK

This entry covers the specific Gulfstream airframe bearing tail number N77FK, a 1998-built Gulfstream G-IV with serial number 1357. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to ALLIANCE AVIATION GROUP LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, which serves as the listed owner and operator/home base for this entry. Registry data indicates a 22-seat executive configuration and a reported market valuation of $5,800,000, providing a snapshot of condition and valuation at the time of the record. Notable registry actions are limited to the recorded ownership and seating certification noted in the public registry.

The cabin of N77FK is configured in a 22-seat executive layout as indicated by registry records, implying a dense executive seating plan optimized for corporate transport or charter when operated by ALLIANCE AVIATION GROUP LLC. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would exploit the Gulfstream G-IV’s intercontinental medium-to-long-range capability, operating routes up to its 4,300 nm range at a high cruise of 459 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Avionics fit for this specific serial is not published in the supplied data; operational considerations therefore focus on the twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 engines, each rated at 12,450 lbf, for performance, maintenance planning, and dispatch reliability. Maintenance cycles and part support follow Gulfstream and Rolls‑Royce supply channels typical for late-1990s G-IV airframes.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, long-range business jet relative to light and mid-size business jets, offering greater range and cabin capacity, exemplified by N77FK’s 22-seat executive fit and 4,300 nm range. Competing models in the era and market include large-cabin types from Bombardier and Dassault; buyers and charter operators value the G-IV for its combination of speed (459 kts cruise) and altitude capability (45,000 ft). Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1998 serial 1357 include aging-airframe inspection regimes, engine shop visit schedules for the Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 powerplants, and the influence of a recorded valuation of $5,800,000 on transaction and charter-rate expectations.
