Alex Rodriguez former Major League Baseball player | Wikipedia

Alex Rodriguez, a well-known former Major League Baseball player and current entrepreneur, operates his own private jet, a Gulfstream IV. The aircraft, registered as N313AR according to Celebrity Private Jet Tracker, was first built in 1997 with a serial number of 1317. It is officially owned by DORA 13 LLC, a company managed by Jose Morse, one of Rodriguez's business partners. "The company is also AROD, Rodriguez's nickname, spelled backwards," and Rodriguez is considered the main operator of this aircraft.

The Gulfstream IV was one of the most popular business jets produced by Gulfstream Aerospace in the 1990s. It offers a range of 4,220 nautical miles (4,856 miles), allowing for travel to various destinations worldwide. Recently, Rodriguez has been flying to domestic locations such as Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport in Minnesota and Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport in Florida.

Gulfstream Aerospace originated in the late 1950s when Grumman Aircraft Engineering Company developed an executive transport aircraft known as the Grumman Gulfstream I. Over time, Gulfstream introduced several variants of its jets. The Gulfstream IV itself underwent redesigns from its predecessor models and was first flown on September 19, 1985. It received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in April 1987.

The design features of the Gulfstream IV include a longer fuselage than its predecessors and two Rolls-Royce Tay fanjet engines providing nearly 12,500 pounds of thrust each. The aircraft boasts a typical cruise speed of 476 knots (548 miles per hour) and can reach a maximum speed of 500 knots (575 miles per hour). Its cabin can accommodate up to 19 passengers but typically fits around 12.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also uses a variant of the Gulfstream IV for data collection related to tropical storms and hurricanes due to its high service ceiling capabilities.
