The cabin of this Gulfstream G-IV SP-configured airframe accommodates 22 seats, supporting high-capacity corporate transport or executive charter roles consistent with its seating count and long-range capability. With a published range of 4,216 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 459 knots, typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental and transoceanic routes within the aircraft’s endurance profile. Specifics on cabin layout, avionics fit, interior finish, and unique amenities for this serial are not published; maintenance considerations are governed by the airframe’s 1996 manufacture date, twin Rolls‑Royce Tay engines, and standard G-IV inspection and shop visit cycles associated with aircraft of this vintage. The owner’s base in Costa Mesa, California, suggests primary operation from Southern California airports.
As a 1996 Gulfstream G-IV SP airframe (serial 1286), this example sits within a family defined by long-range business-jet performance driven by twin Rolls‑Royce Tay engines producing 12,450 lbf of thrust each and a maximum service ceiling near 45,000 ft. The combination of 4,216 nm range and 22‑seat capacity positions the airframe for high-utilization charter or corporate transport where larger-capacity, long-range capability is required. Prospective operators and buyers typically weigh age-related maintenance, engine support for the Tay 611-series, and interior refurbishment needs when assessing resale or continued operational deployment for a 1996-built airframe.
