N868BB

This article covers the individual airframe bearing registration N868BB, a Gulfstream G450 built in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 4051. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate trustee Bank of Utah Trustee, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US; the airframe has remained under corporate trustee ownership in the public registry. The airframe is powered by two turbofan engines and carries an industry-estimated value of $25,000,000 in current listings; the registry additionally notes a seating configuration that differs from typical outfitting.

This specific Gulfstream G450 is configured with an executive cabin layout and the registry entry records 22 seats, while the typical outfitting for the model is noted as 12–16 passengers; this indicates either a high-density corporate layout or a variance between interior configuration and standard charter fits. The avionics suite installed is Honeywell Primus Epic (PlaneView) / Honeywell MCDU-II, supporting advanced flight-management and situational awareness capabilities consistent with long-range business operations. Based in Salt Lake City, UT, US by virtue of owner location and registration, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and transoceanic business missions within its 4,350 nm maximum range and high-speed cruise profile. Maintenance considerations for this tail number align with twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C support requirements and executive-cabin upkeep, particularly when factory-type interiors are adapted to higher passenger counts.

The Gulfstream G450 occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet segment, delivering transcontinental performance with a high operating ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise speed near 459 kts. Competing models in the same market niche typically include other large-cabin, long-range business jets; buyer demand centers on range, cabin comfort and avionics like the installed Honeywell Primus Epic (PlaneView). Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2006 build year and the common-service lifecycle of Rolls-Royce Tay engines, while the listed valuation of $25,000,000 positions it competitively among pre-owned G450 examples.
