Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N18S, is a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) built in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 5531. The airframe is listed in corporate ownership under 5531 LLC, an LLC based in Seattle, WA, US, and carries a United States registration. Registered to 5531 LLC of Seattle, Washington, the aircraft’s public record indicates corporate ownership rather than individual or airline operation. There are no additional published ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond its current LLC ownership in the supplied data. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the provided dataset.
The aircraft is registered with the FAA for 20 seats, matching the maximum listed seating. Typical large‑cabin executive layouts for this model seat between 14–20 passengers depending on interior fit, so the registration reflects a high‑capacity executive or corporate configuration for this specific airframe. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, the Honeywell Primus Epic‑based suite, supporting long‑range, high‑altitude IFR operations and advanced flight management for demanding corporate missions. With a 6,750 nm range and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, this particular G550 is typically employed on transcontinental and intercontinental point‑to‑point flights, frequently operating out of corporate bases consistent with its Seattle LLC ownership.

Competitors in the same mission segment include other ultra‑long‑range corporate jets; buyer and charter demand typically favors airframes with comprehensive avionics like PlaneView and well‑documented maintenance histories. For resale and maintenance considerations, the BR710 engines and Gulfstream systems on this serial require OEM‑recommended shop visits and documented tracking to preserve value; no specific maintenance records were provided for this aircraft.
