N984JW

This article covers the specific Gulfstream airframe bearing U.S. registration N984JW, a Gulfstream G-IV built in 1989 with manufacturer serial number 1091. The airframe is owned by the corporate entity NINETY EIGHT AVIATION LLC, based in Fort Myers, FL, US, which appears in registry records as the current operator/registrant. The airplane is a late-1980s G-IV series example powered by Rolls-Royce Tay engines and is registered in the US; no additional public registry actions or transfers are published. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this particular airframe are not published.

The airframe is configured in a typical executive cabin layout, consistent with Gulfstream G-IV interiors that commonly accommodate 12–19 passengers but in operator reports is fitted for a seating capacity of 22, indicating a higher-density or supplemental belted configuration for certain missions. As operated by a Fort Myers–based corporate entity, the G-IV airframe is suited to long-range executive transport and transcontinental or transoceanic charter-style missions within its published 4,220 nm range and high-altitude cruise profile. Avionics fitment specifics are not published here; maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the Gulfstream G-IV fleet norms, including careful monitoring of Tay engine maintenance cycles and inspection items typical of late-1980s airframes. No unique cabin amenities beyond the customary executive layout are published for this ship.

The Gulfstream G-IV represents Gulfstream Aerospace’s established large-cabin, long-range business jet offering from its era, providing a performance niche centered on intercontinental range with high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competitors in the same market segment historically include early-model Bombardier Challenger variants and Dassault Falcon 900-series jets; buyer and charter demand for individual G-IV airframes depends heavily on maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and engine status. For this specific airframe, resale and operational considerations will hinge on the Tay engine maintenance records, interior configuration (notably the reported 22 seats), and any supplemental upgrades performed since its 1989 manufacture.
