N888MF

This entry covers airframe N888MF, a Gulfstream G-IV SP built in 1995 with serial number 1268. The aircraft is recorded as owned by SN 1268 INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport. The airframe carries a documented valuation of $4,295,000 and has noted interior work with a sale refit April 2006 that yielded a 14‑passenger certified interior per listing. No other registry actions are published beyond the ownership and refit details provided.

The cabin configuration for this specific G-IV SP comprises a four‑place forward club, a four‑place mid club, and an aft four‑place divan opposite a two‑place club, with a full aft galley and a private aft lavatory; the listing indicates a 14‑passenger certified interior per listing after the sale refit April 2006. Avionics fit includes a Honeywell Sperry SPZ-8400 suite, dual Honeywell NZ-2000 FMS (v6.1) with WAAS/LPV, TCAS II (Change 7.1), and ADS-B Out v2 (DO-260B), supporting modern navigation, situational awareness, and regulatory compliance for ADS-B operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its long-range capability and 22-seat certification, would include transcontinental and transoceanic corporate transport or high-end group charters operating from its owner’s US base; maintenance considerations center on the twin Rolls-Royce Tay engines and the avionics modernization documented.

The Gulfstream G-IV SP is positioned as a long-range, high‑speed large-cabin business jet in Gulfstream Aerospace’s product line, offering transcontinental range and high‑altitude cruise capability—here demonstrated by 4,220 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the segment include large-cabin jets from Bombardier and Dassault, with buyer demand driven by range, cabin flexibility, and avionics capability. For this specific serial, resale and maintenance considerations reflect typical support needs for 1990s-era G‑IV airframes: airframe and engine life‑cycle management, and the value impact of the documented 2006 interior refit and current avionics fit.
