Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N85GC, is a Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV) built in 1991 with manufacturer serial number 1161. The aircraft is owned by 4LIONS LLC, a limited liability company based in Chula Vista, CA, US, and operates under United States registration. The airframe configuration reflects a late-production G-IV completion era and carries a typical executive fit for its class; registered in the US as N85GC is the principal documented registry action associated with this airframe. Condition and valuation highlights are not published for this specific airframe in the supplied data.

The cabin of this G-IV is fitted in a typical 14-place executive layout while remaining certificated up to 19 occupants, arranged as a three‑zone cabin with a forward galley and forward and aft lavatories. Operated from an owner based in Chula Vista, CA, US, the aircraft is suited to long-range executive transport missions consistent with the model’s 4,220 nm range and high‑altitude cruise capability. Avionics fit and specific maintenance records for this airframe are not published in the provided data; operational considerations therefore focus on the G-IV’s twin‑engine Rolls‑Royce Tay configuration and the usual maintenance regimes associated with that powerplant family. The seating and three‑zone arrangement support mixed passenger/corporate missions, positioning the airframe for both owner use and potential charter employment within regulatory limits of its US registration.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a long-range, large-cabin business jet niche characterized by transcontinental and intercontinental executive missions, here exemplified by the airframe’s 4,220 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the same performance band typically include other late‑generation large-cabin business jets; demand for this class historically centers on corporate owner-operators and charter operators seeking long-range capability and cabin comfort. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe will hinge on airframe hours, engine shop visit history for the Rolls‑Royce Tay (TAY 611-series / TAY 611SER) engines, and the interior configuration, which in this case is a certificated up-to-19, three‑zone executive layout.
