N188SW

This airframe, registered as N188SW, is a 2018-built Gulfstream GVII-G500, serial number 72018. The aircraft is owned by the corporate entity AF HOLDINGS INC, headquartered in Albany, NY, US, and is registered in the United States. Registered to AF HOLDINGS INC and operated from its Albany base, the airframe has been appraised at a market value of $36,000,000, reflecting its late-model status and executive configuration. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond its corporate registration and valuation.

The airframe features an operator-fitted nine-seat executive layout consistent with corporate transport and long-range business missions; the cabin arrangement is customized by the operator rather than factory standard. Avionics are provided by the manufacturer’s advanced flight deck suite, the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting high-performance operational profiles and modern crew interface standards. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include intercontinental business travel within its 5,300 nm range and high-speed point-to-point charters or owner-flown corporate trips at cruise speeds near 566 knots and flight levels up to 51,000 feet. Maintenance considerations emphasize support for the PW814GA engine type and the integrated Symmetry avionics ecosystem, with operator-specific cabin outfitting requiring tailored component tracking and inspection regimes.

The Gulfstream GVII-G500 occupies the super-midsize to large-cabin, long-range business jet segment, offering transcontinental range and high cruise speeds that position it against competitors such as late-model Bombardier and Dassault products. Its combination of a modern cockpit like the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, twin PW814GA turbofan powerplants, and a 5,300 nm capability targets corporate buyers and charter operators seeking performance and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine program enrollment, avionics support and the impact of operator-fitted interiors on market liquidity; a factory-newer GVII-G500 with this specification and condition is consistent with a valuation around $36,000,000.
