N880CF

The airframe bearing tail N880CF is a 1988-built Gulfstream G-IV with manufacturer serial number 1082, constructed by Gulfstream Aerospace. As of the latest registry snapshot the aircraft is owned by BOSS 8 LLC, a limited liability company based in Fort Worth, TX, US, which serves as the operator and primary base for this specific airframe's activities. The airframe carries United States registration US, and its documented provenance in civil aviation records centers on its continued operation under the single corporate owner noted. No public record of additional owners or major registry transfers is included in the provided data.

This Gulfstream G-IV airframe, registered as N880CF, is configured to accommodate 22 passengers, indicating a high-capacity executive or corporate transport layout relative to typical long-range business jets. With a maximum cruise speed near 459 kts and a listed range of 4,363 nm, its mission profile suits transcontinental and medium intercontinental routes from its Fort Worth, Texas base. The twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 powerplants, each rated at 13,850 lbf, provide the performance needed to sustain operations up to its service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Specific cabin features, avionics fit, and maintenance history for this serial 1082 airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The Gulfstream G-IV family, represented here by serial 1082, occupies a market niche for long-range, high-speed corporate transports capable of carrying larger passenger complements — in this case 22 seats — while offering transcontinental range. Competitors in the era and class include other large-cabin, long-range business jets from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Dassault. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the typical demands of late-1980s airframes equipped with Tay turbofans, including support for aging systems and engine-specific overhaul cycles, factors that influence resale and operational availability in the current market.
