N956JM

The airframe bearing registration N956JM is a Gulfstream IV-SP (Gulfstream G-IV) built in 1993, serial number 1223. The airframe is recorded as owned by JAM AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Laredo, TX, US, which is the listed operator/home base for the aircraft in public registry records. Maintenance history and specific interior configuration are not publicly available; valuation estimates place the aircraft at $3,000,000, reflecting airframe age, engine type and typical market depreciation for early-1990s large-cabin business jets. The U.S. registration and operator listing indicate routine registry actions consistent with private corporate operation rather than airline or fractional ownership.

The cabin for this airframe follows a typical large-cabin executive layout with a published typical capacity of 14–19 passengers; the specific interior configuration for N956JM is not public. As operated by JAM AVIATION LLC out of Laredo, TX, the aircraft’s mission profile would commonly include long-range business and charter flights within the Americas, leveraging a 4,220 nm range and high-speed cruise. Avionics fit is not specified in the public summary for this serial, so standard Gulfstream IV-SP systems are presumed unless supplemental records indicate retrofit. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include lifecycle inspection schedules typical of twin Rolls‑Royce Tay-powered Gulfstreams and attention to interior refurbishment given the aircraft's 1993 manufacture date.

The Gulfstream IV-SP/G-IV family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, prized for transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a comfortable cabin. Competing models in its era include earlier Gulfstream variants and late-model Bombardier and Dassault types that offer varying range, capacity and avionics suites. Buyer and charter demand for older G-IV airframes often focuses on lifecycle maintenance status, engine hours on TAY 611SER powerplants, and the cost-effectiveness of interior refurbishment against a market valuation like $3,000,000. Resale considerations center on documented maintenance, avionics upgrades, and cabin configuration transparency.
