N85MX

The airframe bearing tail number N85MX is a 2011-build Gulfstream G450 with serial number 4228. This airframe is recorded in US registration and is owned by the corporation BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. The aircraft’s ownership is notable for being held by a corporate trust in Salt Lake City, a common structure for financial or title-holding arrangements. As of the latest valuation on file the airframe is estimated at $16,250,000, reflecting its mid-cycle market position for a 2011 large-cabin business jet.

This specific Gulfstream G450 (serial 4228) is configured with a 22-seat cabin layout, supporting high-density corporate transport or charter missions consistent with its seating count. Avionics fit for this airframe is the typical Gulfstream installation of Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView avionics, providing modern integrated flightdeck capabilities for long-range business operations. Based on owner location and US registration, routine operations and maintenance are likely centered on the Salt Lake City, UT area, with missions typically encompassing transcontinental and long overwater flights within the aircraft’s 4,350 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with large-cabin twin turbofan schedules, including shop visits for the two Rolls-Royce Tay-derived TAY 611-8C engines and avionics support for the Primus Epic suite.

The Gulfstream G450 family occupies the long-range large-cabin segment, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speeds; this airframe’s 459 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling reflect that performance niche. Competitors in this class include contemporary large-cabin jets that trade range and cabin size against acquisition and operating cost; the $16,250,000 valuation positions this 2011 G450 competitively against similarly aged aircraft in the pre-owned market. Buyer and charter demand for G450s tends to favor operators seeking proven range and cabin comfort, while resale and maintenance considerations center on engine shop visit cycles, avionics updates for Primus Epic systems, and the airframe’s verified maintenance and ownership history as held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE.
