N877LC

The airframe bearing registration N877LC is a 1991-built example of the Gulfstream G-IV, serial number 1165, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. It is listed in owner records as registered to LETICA LEASING LLC, an LLC based in Rochester Hills, MI, US, and carries a US registration. No separate operator history or multiple ownership transfers are published for this specific airframe beyond the recorded lessor; any notable registry actions are not published. Valuation records place the aircraft at $3,812,000, reflecting its age, configuration and on-record equipment set.

The subject airframe is configured with 22 seats, indicating a high-density passenger arrangement suitable for group transport, charter lift, or corporate shuttle applications rather than a typical low-seat luxury interior. Avionics reported for this airframe include Collins equipment, with specific mentions of ADF 462, DME 442, and a Collins HF-9000 unit appearing in secondary listings; the broader Collins avionics suite is reported but not fully itemized. Operating performance—range of 4,200 nm and cruise of 459 kts—supports long transcontinental and transoceanic missions within the Gulfstream G‑IV capability envelope, while the 45,000 ft ceiling provides typical high-altitude routing flexibility. Based in the vicinity of the owner at Rochester Hills, MI, US, the aircraft’s maintenance and mission profile would align with sustained commercial leasing rotations and lessor stewardship.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a long-range, high-speed fixed-wing multi-engine business jet niche for which the airframe’s twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 engines are characteristic. With a cruise speed of 459 kts and a 4,200 nm range, this airframe competes within its vintage class against other late‑gen large-cabin business jets in demand for charter and corporate leasing. Market considerations for this particular serial and configuration include the effects of age on value—reflected in the recorded $3,812,000 figure—and the importance of documented avionics and engine type for maintenance planning and resale positioning.
