N960JS

This entry covers the Gulfstream G‑IV airframe bearing U.S. registration N960JS, constructor serial 1521, built in 2004 by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by JORDGRANT1521 LLC, an LLC based in Santa Monica, CA, US, and is registered in the US; press and operator summaries have identified the airframe in business aviation service rather than as a commercial transport. The airframe's reported market value is $5,800,000, reflecting its age, configuration and systems common to its production era. Notable registry or operational events are not published beyond the recorded ownership and registration details.

Configured and reported in operator and press summaries with an executive cabin layout identified as a 13‑place executive configuration, the airframe carries a standard Gulfstream outfitting pattern with forward crew refreshment and an aft galley in the typical arrangement noted for this model. The installed avionics suite is the Collins Pro Line 4, a common fit for G‑IV/G400 aircraft of this vintage which supports long‑range corporate missions and international flight operations within the aircraft’s 3,880 nm range and high‑speed cruise capability. Operational use is consistent with business and private transport, flying typical point‑to‑point transcontinental and transoceanic charters or corporate missions from its owner/operator base in Santa Monica, CA. Maintenance considerations align with mature wide‑body bizjet support cycles, where airframe age and engine shop visit histories drive continuing airworthiness costs.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (G400) occupies the large‑cabin, long‑range corporate jet niche, balancing transcontinental range and high cruise speed with a high service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Aircraft of this family are often compared in market consideration to other large cabin business jets and are sought for executive transport and charter operations; resale and maintenance values reflect cumulative flight hours, calendar age (this airframe: 2004), interior configuration, and avionics standardization such as the Collins Pro Line 4. For buyers and operators evaluating this specific serial (1521), the reported $5,800,000 valuation signals a mid‑market price point that incorporates the 13‑place executive outfitting and the economics of maintaining twin Rolls‑Royce Tay 611SER engines.
