Model & Market Context
The airframe, registered as N129QS, is a 2024-build example of the Bombardier Global 5500 (BD-700-1A11), serial number 60117, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. It is owned by Caffeinated Capital Management LLC (a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US), which appears as the primary and current registrant. The aircraft carries U.S. registration N129QS and entered service new in 2024; there are no public notations of prior ownership transfers or leases. Valuation and condition records list this specific airframe at $39,822,331, reflecting a recent-production Global 5500 in corporate operator configuration.
This airframe is recorded with an 8-place executive layout consistent with typical operator configurations, although the manufacturer lists up to 16 passenger capacity for the model. Cabin dimensions for this specific aircraft measure 6 ft 2 in in height, 7 ft 11 in in width, and 40 ft 9 in in length (cockpit divider to aft), providing a long-range, high-comfort executive environment. The fit includes the Bombardier Vision flight deck with four large displays; optional features available on this platform and relevant to on‑type operations include CVS/HUD, advanced FMS/PBN and datalink options, which support precision navigation and datalink communications on transcontinental and intercontinental routes. Based in Oklahoma City, OK, the operator profile suggests corporate point-to-point missions, transoceanic ferry legs within the aircraft’s 5,900 nm capability, and high‑altitude cruise operations up to 51,000 ft.
The Bombardier Global 5500 occupies the long-range, ultra-premium business jet niche, offering a blend of transcontinental range and high-speed cruise for corporate operators and fractional/charter markets. Competing models include other long-range Globals and select Gulfstream and Dassault variants; buyer demand favors newer-production airframes for reduced maintenance and enhanced avionics packages. For this 2024 serial 60117 example, resale value and maintenance considerations are buoyed by new-engine Pearl 15 powerplants and modern Vision flight-deck systems, which typically reduce short-term life‑cycle costs and preserve market desirability.
