Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N438N, is a 2021-built Gulfstream G600 (GVII-G600), serial number 73053, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The airplane is owned by ZBOR LLC, an LLC based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is recorded on the US civil register. Registered and operated under corporate ownership by ZBOR LLC, the airframe presents as a late-production G600 example delivered in 2021. Current valuation records list the aircraft at $46,000,000, reflecting its relatively recent build year and executive configuration.
The aircraft is fitted with a 9-seat executive layout cabin intended for corporate transport and long-range missions. The flight deck is equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced avionics and enhanced situational awareness for high-altitude, long-range operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include intercontinental point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s 6,600 nm range and high-speed cruise at approximately 488 kts to minimize trip times. Based in Salt Lake City, UT, under ZBOR LLC ownership, operational considerations include standard Gulfstream maintenance practices for the PW815GA engines and high-altitude systems required to support a 51,100 ft service ceiling.
The Gulfstream G600 (GVII-G600) occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche within Gulfstream’s product line, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with high cruise speed and altitude. Competing models generally include other ultra-long-range business jets that prioritize cabin comfort, speed and range; demand is driven by corporate buyers and charter operators seeking efficient executive transport. From a resale and maintenance perspective, a 2021 airframe with modern systems such as the Symmetry Flight Deck and PW815GA engines typically commands strong interest, with valuation reflected in the listed $46,000,000 price point.
