Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N78SD, is a Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 4315. The aircraft is recorded as owned by ASHLA EQUIPMENT HOLDINGS LLC, a corporation based in Dallas, TX, US, and is held on the U.S. civil register. There are no other public registry events listed for this airframe; its recorded valuation stands at $12,600,000, reflecting market condition and configuration for a 2014-build G450. The airframe's documentation and current ownership suggest operator continuity under corporate ownership rather than active airline or individual operation.
The listed avionics fit for this specific G450 is a Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView style cockpit with HUD and EVS options, indicating a flight deck capable of advanced situational awareness and optional enhanced vision operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with mid- to long-range corporate transport—transcontinental and transoceanic-link capable flights within a maximum mission radius consistent with a 4,350 nm range and high-speed cruise at 459 kts. As a corporate-held asset under ASHLA EQUIPMENT HOLDINGS LLC in *Dallas, TX, US, the aircraft is likely maintained to Part 135/145-equivalent standards typical of corporate operators, with attention to Rolls‑Royce Tay engine support and Honeywell avionics continuity. Interior layout and seat count are not published for this specific serial, but G450s of this vintage commonly feature executive cabin arrangements and systems that require specialized checks for HUD and EVS-equipped installations.
The Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) occupies a performance niche of long-range, high-speed mid-size business jets with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and transcontinental capability to 4,350 nm. It competes with platforms such as late-model Bombardier Challengers and larger Gulfstream variants, appealing to buyers seeking long-range cruise performance and robust avionics like the Honeywell Primus Epic/PlaneView family. Resale consideration for this 2014 airframe will weigh engine time on the Rolls‑Royce Tay Mk 611-8C units, avionics upgrades (HUD/EVS), and the corporate ownership history when assessing marketability.
