N80QJ

This entry covers the specific Gulfstream airframe registered as N80QJ, a 1998-built Gulfstream G-IV SP with serial number 1333. The airframe is owned by Mercer Air LLC, a corporation based on Mercer Island, Washington, United States, and carries a US registration. As a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet from Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation built in 1998, this airframe is presented in records with an estimated market value of $4,000,000. Registry entries and notable maintenance milestones are not otherwise detailed in the provided data.

Specific cabin seating counts, interior configuration, and exact avionics suite for this airframe are not published in the supplied data; general G-IV SP interiors typically accommodate executive layouts but this entry does not assert a particular layout. Typical mission profiles for the airframe’s capability envelope include medium- to long-range corporate travel consistent with the 4,220 nm range and transcontinental or international point-to-point flights at cruise speeds near 459 kts. The aircraft’s operator is recorded as Mercer Air LLC of Mercer Island, WA, indicating maintenance and basing activity likely tied to that operator’s home region, though formal maintenance programs, overhaul history, and unique amenities are not detailed in the provided dataset.

The Gulfstream G-IV SP occupies a performance niche as a stretched and enhanced member of the G-IV family, offering long-range capability and high cruise speed relative to many earlier business jets; this specific airframe benefits from twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 powerplants producing 13,850 lbf each. Competing models in the late-1990s long-range corporate segment include other large-cabin turbofan business jets; buyer and charter demand for late-1990s G-IV SPs is influenced by airframe condition, avionics upgrades, and engine maintenance status, all critical to resale valuation such as the listed $4,000,000 for N80QJ.
