Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N868BS, is a 2007 Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) built by Gulfstream Aerospace with serial number 4080. It is recorded as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE (a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US), and carries a United States registration. The certificate history for this airframe notes a typical executive certification pattern with some entries listing the certificated maximum of 22 seats; maintenance and registry records reflect operation in the business/executive transport sector without publicized accident or incident events in the supplied data.
The airframe is commonly configured in a three‑zone executive layout and is described as a typical 3‑zone executive cabin, most commonly outfitted with 12–16 executive seats while some certificates list the certificated maximum of 22 seats. Avionics are documented as Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView, with Head‑Up Display and Enhanced Vision System options commonly fitted on this model and frequently applied to this airframe class. Operational missions for this Gulfstream typically include long‑range executive transport and transcontinental or international business travel, exploiting the 4,350 nm range and high cruise speed; operator base activity is consistent with corporate trustee ownership based in North Salt Lake, UT, US.
The Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) occupies a performance niche for long‑range, high‑speed business jets, combining a transcontinental range with a high‑altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft and substantial passenger capacity when certificated for higher seating. Competitors in this segment include other large‑cabin long‑range business jets that offer similar cruise speeds and ranges; buyer and charter demand typically favors airframes with updated avionics suites such as the Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView fit. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial — built in 2007 — center on engine life cycles for the twin Rolls‑Royce TAY 611‑8C engines and the value placed on cabin refurbishment versus certificated seating configurations.
