N506GA

This entry documents airframe N506GA, a Gulfstream GVII-G500 built with serial number 72206 and registered in the US. The record identifies corporate ownership by GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP, located in Savannah, GA, US; the airframe has remained under manufacturer/dealer control per FAA records. The airframe is recorded in a Manufacturer / dealer configuration with FAA-listed seating for 9 and carries an assessed market value of $48,500,000. Registry details show a standard US registration and no public notes of change-of-ownership events beyond its manufacturer-held status.

The FAA registration cites a Manufacturer / dealer configuration with 9 seats but notes typical Gulfstream G500 VIP outfittings can support up to approximately 19 passengers; cabin planning for N506GA allows for forward or aft galley options depending on final interior specification. Avionics are installed as the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced situational awareness and flight management required for long-range, high-altitude operations. With a design range of 5,303 nm and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point missions, frequently employed in corporate, executive transport, and ferry roles while under manufacturer control. Maintenance and operational oversight are consistent with factory ownership, simplifying records and configurational change control but also reflecting dealer-level provisioning rather than an in-service charter operator pedigree.

The airframe is a member of the Gulfstream GVII/G500 family, a large-cabin, long-range business jet segment that competes against types such as the Bombardier Global 5000/6000 and Dassault Falcon 7X/8X lines. With twin PW814GA engines delivering 15,144 lbf each, the model emphasizes high-speed cruise capability, transoceanic range, and high-altitude performance, matching buyer demand for efficient, long-range VIP transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for N506GA are influenced by its manufacturer-held status, documented dealer configuration, and modern avionics fit, factors that generally support strong marketability but require transition work for operator-specific interior or registry changes.
