N955MB

The airframe bearing registration N955MB is a production Gulfstream G-IV built in 1987 with manufacturer serial number 1022. The airframe was manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and is currently owned by HMS AIR LLC, an LLC based in Van Nuys, CA, US, with a US registry (US). Recorded ownership is held by HMS AIR LLC in Van Nuys, and available valuation data lists the airframe at $2,815,000, reflecting its late-1980s manufacture and continued serviceable condition for fixed-wing multi-engine business aviation operations. The aircraft presents the characteristics of a mature G-IV airframe with an ownership record associated with a single named LLC in Southern California.

This Gulfstream G-IV airframe is configured to accommodate 22 seats, consistent with high-density corporate or charter layouts typical of the model, enabling multi-leg business routes and group transport. Cabin layout specifics and avionics fit are not published in the provided data, but the combination of long-range capability (4,220 nm) and high cruise speed (459 kts) positions the aircraft for transcontinental missions and nonstop routes between the US west coast and much of the Americas. Based at Van Nuys, CA, US under ownership of HMS AIR LLC, typical operations would reflect the profile of a fixed-wing multi-engine business transport engaged in owner/operator or charter employ. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would reflect its 1987 manufacture date and the engine type TAY MK 610-8, requiring established inspection and overhaul practices to meet regulatory and operational standards.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering performance that balances transcontinental range and high cruise speeds for group missions. Competitors in similar missions include other late-generation large-cabin jets; buyer and charter demand for a 1987 G-IV typically weighs operating economics, maintenance status, and residual value—here listed at $2,815,000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will be influenced by its age, engines (TAY MK 610-8), and service history under HMS AIR LLC in Van Nuys.
