Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific Gulfstream IV airframe registered as N889BH, built in 1989 with manufacturer serial number 1121. The aircraft is owned by the corporation PRIMA AIR GROUP LLC, based in Pasadena, CA, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe is a late-1980s Gulfstream IV example with an operator fit and a corporate ownership profile; no other prior ownership changes or notable registry events are published for this specific tail. The aircraft is mid-life and is recorded at an estimated market value of $3,000,000, reflecting age, configuration and typical residuals for the model.
The cabin of this Gulfstream IV is laid out in an operator configuration accommodating up to 15 passengers, featuring four captain's chairs, a four-place conference grouping arranged around two captain's chairs, one three-place divan and an aft galley; the fit also provides five single berth beds for crew or passenger rest. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-range corporate transport and private charter missions within the aircraft's 4,220 nm range and cruise speed of 459 kts, operating out of the owner's base in Pasadena, CA. While specific avionics and maintenance records are not published here, the twin Rolls‑Royce Tay engines and the certified service ceiling of 45,000 ft underscore the aircraft's capability for transcontinental and transoceanic routings subject to operator maintenance practices and regulatory oversight.
The Gulfstream IV family occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche, offering combinations of range, cabin comfort and high-altitude performance that appeal to corporate flight departments and charter operators. Competitors in the era and market include late-model versions of other large-cabin jets; buyers consider factors such as age, engine overhaul status, interior refurbishment and maintenance history when assessing value — hence the $3,000,000 valuation for this 1989 serial 1121 airframe. Resale and operational economics for such airframes typically hinge on engine TBO status, Structural Integrity Program compliance and interior condition relative to available upgrades.
