N239GA

This airframe, registered as N239GA, is a 1997-built Gulfstream G-V, serial number 517, operated for corporate use and registered in the United States. Ownership is recorded to CENTURY AVIATION INTERNATIONAL INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, which appears as the registered owner/operator on the US registry. The aircraft’s registry entry notes a 20-seat completion configuration, and its assessed market value is $9,800,000. As a late-1990s Gulfstream V airframe, its condition and value reflect vintage large-cabin long-range capability coupled with maturation-related maintenance and potential retrofit considerations.

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical executive Gulfstream layout, built to accommodate a variable completion of 14–20 passengers; the registry lists 20 seats for this specific airframe. Avionics fit is the Honeywell PlaneView / Primus Epic suite, a common fit for the G‑V family that supports advanced flight management and integrated displays suitable for long-range IFR operations. Operated from a base associated with CENTURY AVIATION INTERNATIONAL INC in Wilmington, DE, US, missions for this airframe typically include transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport given its 6,250 nm range and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this older G‑V include BR710 engine time‑between‑overhaul profiles and potential avionics or interior refurbishment to match contemporary expectations.

The Gulfstream G‑V family occupies the long-range large-cabin executive transport niche, combining transoceanic range with high cruise speed—this airframe cruises at 488 kts and can operate to 51,000 ft, characteristics that underpin continued charter and owner-operator demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1997 G‑V such as N239GA reflect the airframe’s age, engine lifecycle costs for the BR710 series, and market appetite for well‑maintained long-range business jets; the listed valuation of $9,800,000 is indicative of a machine that may require investment for interior or systems modernization.
