Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N159JA, is a 2017-built Gulfstream G650ER (G‑VI) with manufacturer's serial number 6288. The aircraft is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US registry. As a late-2010s G650ER, the airframe reflects Gulfstream's long-range, high-speed executive configuration; valuation records cite a market value of $42,250,000, and registry documentation indicates a 22-seat certification though operator fits commonly reduce that number. No other notable registry actions are published for this specific tail in the supplied data.

The cabin for this G650ER is described as a typical long-range executive layout with factory flexibility for 3–5 cabin zones; the registry lists 22 seats though typical operator fit is 12–18 passengers, reflecting common interior tailoring for VIP transport. Avionics fit listed for the model family includes Gulfstream PlaneView II / Honeywell Primus Epic with Block 3 options commonly installed, delivering an integrated flight-deck environment suitable for extended overwater operations and high-altitude cruise. Operationally, this airframe suits transcontinental and intercontinental executive missions enabled by a 7,500 nm range and high cruise speed, and maintenance considerations follow heavy-component cycles associated with Rolls‑Royce BR725 powerplants and long-range systems certification. The corporate trustee ownership and US registration suggest use under corporate or trust arrangements rather than individual ownership.

The Gulfstream G650ER occupies a high-performance ultra-long-range business jet niche, notable for high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that benefits time-sensitive executive transport. Competing models in the segment include other ultra-long-range jets offering similar intercontinental capability; buyer and charter demand typically favors late-build examples with factory long-range options and refreshed avionics such as PlaneView II/Primus Epic Block 3. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine maintenance programs for the BR725 engines and interior reconfiguration options—factors directly relevant to an airframe certified with 22 seats but often reconfigured to 12–18 pax for typical VIP operations.
