Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) airframe registered as N388GC, built in 2011 and bearing manufacturer serial number 5336. The aircraft is listed in corporate ownership under Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. No public record of additional owners or notable registry actions is provided in the supplied data. The airframe’s configuration and fit-out reflect a large‑cabin long‑range executive transport role, with condition and valuation details not published in the supplied dataset.
The subject airframe is typically outfitted in a three‑ to four‑zone executive layout, providing up to 18–20 passenger positions depending on the specific fit‑out chosen for N388GC. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView (Honeywell / PlaneView), supporting long‑range corporate operations and advanced flight deck capabilities consistent with Gulfstream’s executive transport standards. Operational profiles for this airframe are consistent with intercontinental and transoceanic missions enabled by a 6,750 nm range and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, while cruise at 488 kts supports efficient high‑speed point‑to‑point travel. Maintenance considerations for this corporate‑owned airframe typically reflect the requirements of twin‑engine BR710 powerplants and Gulfstream‑level avionics, though no specific maintenance events or schedules are provided.
The Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) represented by N388GC occupies a performance niche as a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet, combining transcontinental range with high cruise speed and a high service ceiling. Within its market segment it competes with other long‑range executive types; buyer and charter demand for such models is driven by range, cabin capacity, and avionics like Gulfstream PlaneView. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe derive from its 2011 build year, BR710 engines, and configuration flexibility allowing up to 20 seats, factors that inform operator lifecycle costs and remarketing potential.
