Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N917VZ is a 2017-built Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X), serial 4364, operated under US registration. Its documented titled owner is the corporation Wilmington Trust Company (trustee), located in Wilmington, DE, US; the holding is thus maintained in trust rather than under an individual owner. Public records for this specific airframe do not publish an active operator or home-base designation. Notable registry actions and contemporary valuation or condition reports for this exact airframe are not published in the provided data.

This specific G450 airframe is outfitted to accommodate 22 seats, indicating a high-density executive or charter interior configuration rather than a single‑owner bespoke VIP layout; exact cabin furnishing details are not published. The aircraft’s avionics suite is the factory Gulfstream PlaneView installation based on the Honeywell Primus Epic system, supporting advanced flight management, integrated displays and typical Gulfstream cockpit ergonomics. With a published cruise speed of 459 kts and a transcontinental range of 4,350 nm, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include long domestic and trans‑Atlantic shuttle flights between major business centers. Operator base and specific amenity or maintenance records for this tail number are not published; however, maintenance considerations will follow Rolls‑Royce Tay engine support and Gulfstream heavy‑visit intervals consistent with the G450 fleet.

The Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) occupies the mid‑to‑large cabin, long‑range business jet niche, prized for a balance of speed, range and cabin capacity. With twin Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8C powerplants and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, the model competes with types such as the Bombardier Challenger 605/650 and Dassault Falcon 2000 series for corporate and charter buyers. Demand in resale and charter markets typically favors airframes with low cycles, complete maintenance logs and desirable interiors; for this specific airframe, provenance as a trust‑owned asset and the installed PlaneView avionics are salient points affecting marketability, while Rolls‑Royce engine support considerations influence ongoing operational costs.
