N986SP

This airframe, tail number N986SP, is a 2008-built Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) with serial number 4140. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by D&C AVIATION LLC of Pittsburgh, PA, US, which appears as the operator/registrant on current records. The Gulfstream has a reported market valuation of $14,995,000 and carries a full executive certification allowing up to 22 seats in the registry, while commonly configured for fewer passengers in executive service. No other historic ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current LLC ownership.

The cabin on this specific G450 is fitted with a Forward galley Hallmark floorplan and a typical executive layout, with the registry listing up to 22 seats while common executive configurations range from 12–16. Avionics on the airframe are reported as a Honeywell PlaneView (4‑tube) suite, with Heads‑Up Display (HUD) and Enhanced Vision System (EVS) options reported as available on the installation. Typical missions for the platform and this airframe include long‑range point‑to‑point executive transport within its 4,350 nm capability and high‑speed cruise at about 459 kts, operating from an operator base reflected by the owner’s location in Pittsburgh, PA, US. Maintenance considerations follow Gulfstream G450 norms for twin Rolls‑Royce TAY powerplants and Honeywell avionics avionics support.

The Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) sits in the large‑cabin, long‑range business jet category, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability within a cruise and ceiling envelope suitable for executive operations. Competing models typically include contemporaneous large‑cabin types offering similar range and comfort, and demand centers on buyers seeking a blend of speed, range and cabin size. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2008 manufacture date, its Rolls‑Royce TAY engine type, and the value level reported at $14,995,000, factors commonly reviewed by purchasers and charter operators evaluating lifecycle and avionics upgrades.
