N508CK

This entry covers Gulfstream airframe N508CK, a factory-built Gulfstream G-V-SP (G550) completed in 2007 with serial number 5158. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by corporation IBC HOSPITALITY LLC, headquartered in Newport Beach, CA, US, which serves as the apparent operator/home base for this jet. Listings indicate a 2016 interior refresh on this airframe, and official registry records reflect its continued US registration under the named corporate owner. Condition notes tied to listings emphasize executive configuration and recent interior work rather than major structural or avionics changes.

The cabin follows a typical executive layout accommodating approximately 14–16 passengers with a forward galley and multiple living areas arranged for long-range corporate transport; the installed seating count is 16. Avionics are the Gulfstream PlaneView suite (Honeywell-based), supporting modern navigation, communication and flight-management roles appropriate to transcontinental and intercontinental operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-range corporate and charter flights leveraging a 6,750 nm range and high cruise speed of 488 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Newport Beach, CA, US. The noted 2016 interior refresh improves cabin condition and marketability, while maintenance considerations center on continued support for Rolls-Royce BR710 propulsion and Honeywell-based avionics common to the type.

The Gulfstream G-V-SP (marketed as the G550) occupies the long-range large-cabin segment, offering transoceanic capability with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and cruise performance that supports rapid point-to-point corporate travel. It competes with other long-range business jets in speed, range, and cabin comfort; buyer and charter demand typically target operators needing nonstop intercontinental reach. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize the health of the BR710 engines and the PlaneView avionics fit, while interior refurbishments (such as the documented 2016 refresh) can materially affect valuation and charter appeal.
