This airframe, registered as N279WR, is a 2014-built Gulfstream G550 (GV-SP) with serial number 5497. It is owned and co-held by Westgate Aviation GV LLC / GISSY G-550 LLC, operating from Orlando, Florida, United States.

Ownership is recorded in Orlando, FL, with the operator/home base noted in broker and listing information.
The cabin for N279WR is described in broker specifications as a forward-galley layout configured for 14 passengers with a forward galley and crew rest, while typical outfitting listings note a 14-passenger forward-galley arrangement as the cabin standard. Avionics are listed as Honeywell integrated systems, specifically Honeywell PlaneView™, supporting complex international and domestic mission profiles. With a long-range capability of 6,750 nm and a cruise speed near 488 kts, the aircraft is suited to extended intercontinental business missions and premium charter activity originating from its Orlando base.

The Gulfstream G550 (GV-SP) family occupies a long-range, high-performance business jet niche with transoceanic capability and high service ceilings; N279WR reflects that performance with a 51,000 ft ceiling and Rolls-Royce BR710 engines delivering 15,385 lbf each. Competing models in the same market segment typically offer similar long-range profiles; demand from buyers and charter operators often emphasizes range, cabin flexibility and avionics suites such as the Honeywell PlaneView™ fit on this airframe. For resale and maintenance, the aircraft’s 2014 build year, specific serial 5497, and co-ownership structure are relevant factors when evaluating historical records, refurbishments and operational continuity.
