N808MF

This entry covers airframe N808MF, a 2001-built Gulfstream G-IV (Gulfstream IV-SP), serial number 1448, currently owned by Gypsy Baby LLC, an LLC based in Van Nuys, California, United States. The aircraft is U.S.-registered and has been recorded as operated from its owner’s Van Nuys location; no prior ownership transfers are published beyond the current LLC ownership. The airframe’s assessed market value is $5,298,099, reflecting its early-2000s build year and configuration status for executive transport.

The airframe is fitted in a 13-seat executive cabin layout characterized by a forward galley and an aft lavatory with a door, despite a certified seating complement of 22. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include transcontinental and intercontinental business travel enabled by a long-range capability of 4,220 nm and a high long-range cruise speed near 459 kts. The operator/home base in Van Nuys positions the aircraft for heavy use on West Coast–continental U.S. and Pacific routing; no special expeditionary modifications are recorded for this airframe. Maintenance and operational planning for N808MF are influenced by its 2001 manufacture date and by the two Rolls‑Royce Tay 611 turbofan engines, for which scheduled shop visits and life-limited component tracking are standard practice for aircraft of this era.

The Gulfstream G-IV (Gulfstream IV-SP) family occupies a long-range large-cabin niche, offering high cruise speeds and intercontinental reach that appeal to corporate owners and charter operators. Competing models in the used large-cabin segment include late-model Bombardier and Dassault types, with buyer demand driven by cabin configuration, range, and engine supportability. For this airframe, the 2001 build year, specific executive cabin fit, and quoted value of $5,298,099 are primary factors affecting resale prospects; maintenance history, engine program enrollment, and continued avionics modernization would materially influence marketability.
