RADAR ESTIMATE

What N17KW is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Gulfstream IV on its own yet, so this borrows the Gulfstream G450 curve, scales it to N17KW's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N17KW

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers the specific Gulfstream airframe registered as N17KW, a 1999-built Gulfstream G-IV with serial number 1361. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation WCS Inc, based in Troy, AL, US, and is registered in the US civil aircraft registry.

Operations & Cabin

This specific Gulfstream G-IV, with seating for 22, would be configured for high-capacity corporate or executive transport missions rather than sparse VIP layouts, offering a cabin capable of accommodating mixed passenger and conference seating or higher-density executive shuttle roles. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 4,220 nm range and 459 kt cruise, include transcontinental U.S. flights and medium-haul international hops without enroute stops. Based in Troy, AL, US under corporate ownership by WCS Inc, its operational usage is likely managed from that locale with standard Gulfstream maintenance cycles; any unique amenities or specific avionics fit for this airframe are not published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations for a 1999 G-IV include lifecycle support for the Rolls-Royce Tay engines and conservative airframe inspections appropriate to its age and utilization.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G-IV family sits in the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche, offering the combination of transcontinental range and higher cruise speed that appeals to corporate flight departments and charter operators. Buyer demand typically balances operational capability against upgrade and refurbishment costs for avionics and cabin modernization.
