N917MS

This airframe, registered as N917MS, is a 1994 Gulfstream G-IV with manufacturer's serial number 1241. It is owned by 917MS LLC, a corporation based in Longwood, FL, US, and is listed on the U.S. civil aircraft registry under that ownership. The type has been maintained in active executive configuration listings and carries a reported market valuation of $4,277,121, a figure that reflects its age, configuration and typical wear for late-model large-cabin business jets. The aircraft operates from a U.S. home base and is documented as a U.S.-registered asset.

The cabin is commonly reported in listings as a 13-passenger executive layout, indicating this specific airframe is configured for executive transport despite a certificated seating capacity of 22. Typical mission profiles for this G-IV with a 4,220 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed include transcontinental and medium long-range international flights operated from its Florida base. Operator maintenance considerations focus on the twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611 series engines, which require life-limited part tracking and overhaul cycles consistent with high-performance turbofan fleets. The aircraft’s 45,000 ft ceiling and Gulfstream large-cabin pedigree make it suitable for charter and corporate operations where altitude performance and long-range economy are valued.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a long-range large-cabin niche offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speeds relative to smaller business jets. In the used market, G-IVs compete with other large-cabin types for corporate and charter buyers seeking range near 4,200 nm and payload flexibility. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe emphasize engine overhaul status and avionics modernization for contemporary airspace requirements, factors that directly influence valuation of $4,277,121 for this 1994-built serial 1241.
