Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N50S, is a 2008 Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, serial number 5216, and displays US registration US. The aircraft is owned by N50S LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, and has been operated in an executive role under that single ownership entity. Registered to N50S LLC in Wilmington, DE, the airframe’s recorded valuation at the time of the provided data is $16,000,000, reflecting its mid‑life market position and executive configuration condition. No additional registry actions or operator changes were provided beyond the current ownership and US registration.

The cabin has an owner‑specific executive configuration consistent with Gulfstream G550 layouts, with seating capacity reported as 20 and typical arrangements varying between 14–20 passengers; forward galley and lavatory placements are owner dependent. Avionics are listed as Gulfstream PlaneView, a Honeywell‑based integrated flight deck typical on G550s, supporting long‑range, high‑altitude operations. With a range of 6,750 nm and long‑cruise speed of 459 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental executive missions from its home base in the United States. Maintenance considerations are those typical of a mid‑2000s G550 in executive service, including engine program adherence for the BR700‑710C411 powerplants and avionics support for PlaneView systems.

The Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) family occupies a long‑range, large‑cabin niche offering transoceanic capability; this airframe’s performance figures—6,750 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling—align with that role. Competing models in the segment include other ultra‑long‑range business jets from major manufacturers, and demand tends toward corporate buyers and charter operators seeking intercontinental capability. At an indicated value of $16,000,000, resale considerations include cumulative maintenance status, logbooks for the BR700 engines, and avionics configuration (PlaneView), all key determinants of marketability for a 2008 G550.
