N500CK

The airframe bearing tail number N500CK is a 2020-built Gulfstream GVII-G500 with manufacturer serial 72061, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. It is registered in the United States (US) and is owned by KOJAIAN AVIATION III LLC, an LLC based in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The airframe’s registration and ownership records indicate it operates in an executive, corporate configuration and carries a market valuation of $48,500,000. No public record of prior operators or ownership transfers beyond the listed LLC is provided in the supplied data.

This specific Gulfstream GVII-G500 is configured in an executive/corporate cabin layout with the registry showing 9 passenger seats, consistent with use as a corporate transport or long-range private business aircraft. The flight deck is fitted with the manufacturer's integrated avionics suite, the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck™, supporting advanced pilot interfaces and automated flight systems tailored for high-end business operations. Typical missions for this airframe would include transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point travel within the aircraft’s 5,000 nm range, operating from the owner’s base in Bloomfield Hills, MI, or other U.S. hubs. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin‑engine large-cabin business jets powered by PW814GA turbofans and maintained under the owner/operator’s corporate program.

The Gulfstream GVII-G500 occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering a combination of high-altitude capability—up to 51,000 ft—and transoceanic range of roughly 5,000 nm for corporate missions. Competing models in this performance bracket typically include other ultra‑long‑range offerings from legacy business-jet manufacturers; demand is driven by corporate owners and charter operators seeking higher speed, cabin comfort, and advanced avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its relatively recent 2020 build year, modern PW814GA engines, and the support ecosystem provided by Gulfstream, with value factors influenced by configuration, maintenance history, and operator usage.
