RESEARCH NOTES
About N156AM
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing tail number N156AM is a 1996-built Gulfstream G-IV SP manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, serial 1296. The airframe is recorded as owned by Kenmore Crew Leasing Inc Trustee (a corporate trustee based in Bellingham, WA, US) and is U.S.-registered. Operational records and listing excerpts reference this airframe's executive configuration and avionics fit; ownership is held by a corporate trustee in Bellingham, with the operator/home base activity tied to that locale in registry entries. Public sales and listing pages for MSN 1296 highlight its 14-place executive layout and typical G-IVSP equipment fit.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin for MSN 1296 is listed on sales and listing pages with a typical executive layout showing a 14-place executive configuration, reflecting common VIP interior arrangements for G-IVSPs. Avionics are reported as a typical Gulfstream fit with Honeywell SPZ-8000, and some listings reference Honeywell DU series displays or DU-880 units as installed or available. With a 4,091 nm range and high cruise of 459 kts, this airframe is configured for long-range executive transport, frequently deployed on transcontinental and transborder missions from its operator base region. Maintenance considerations follow standard G-IVSP protocols for aging mid-1990s airframes, with attention to engine program support for the Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 powerplants and avionics upgrades noted in listing histories.
Model & Market Context
The Gulfstream G-IV SP (G-IVSP) family occupies the long-range heavy business jet niche, offering intercontinental capability and high cruise speed for executive operations. Competing models in its era include later large-cabin Gulfstream variants and comparable heavy jets from Bombardier and Dassault; buyer and charter demand for well-maintained G-IVSPs typically hinges on cabin condition, avionics modernization (e.g., DU-series upgrades), and engine maintenance status. For MSN 1296, resale and operational value are influenced by its documented 14-place executive layout, the installed Honeywell systems, and the condition of the Rolls-Royce Tay engines.
