N18CJ

This airframe, registered as N18CJ, is a 2009 Gulfstream Aerospace GV-SP (G550), manufacturer serial number 5245. It is owned by the corporate entity 18CJ LLC, based in Norfolk, VA, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. The airframe is listed on registry with an executive layout and up to 20 seats reported, reflecting the documented configuration and operator filing; no separate valuation or condition statement is published in the supplied data. Operational stewardship is corporate in nature, with registry entries indicating Norfolk, Virginia as the operator/home base.

This specific G550 is configured in an executive cabin layout with registry notes showing up to 20 seats and a typical outfitting range of 14–19 passengers; operational documentation therefore supports flexible VIP transport or corporate shuttle missions. The aircraft is fitted with Gulfstream's PlaneView avionics suite, supporting long-range IFR operations and modern flight-management capabilities appropriate to transcontinental and intercontinental missions. With a maximum certified ceiling of 51,000 ft and a long-range capability of 6,750 nm, the airframe is routinely suited to nonstop transoceanic sectors and high-altitude cruise profiles near 488 kts for efficient long-range travel. As a corporate-owned G550, maintenance considerations follow Rolls-Royce BR700 program schedules and Gulfstream maintenance practices; individual maintenance status or recent heavy checks are not included in the provided data.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) occupies the high-end large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transoceanic range and very high operational ceilings that appeal to corporations and charter operators requiring nonstop intercontinental capability. Competing platforms in the class include other long-range models from Bombardier and Dassault; buyer and charter demand historically favors proven avionics suites such as PlaneView and the BR700 engine family for reliability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on serial-specific history, cabin configuration, and compliance with programmatic engine and avionics support—data points that for this airframe are limited to registry and configuration entries provided above.
