N517TW

The airframe bearing tail number N517TW is a 2008 Gulfstream GV-SP (G550), serial 5209, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by GTW CORP, a corporation based in Jupiter, Florida; this ownership represents the known operator/home base linkage for the airframe. The airframe’s documented valuation stands at $55,000,000, reflecting its status as a long‑range executive transport with a high‑spec avionics fit and extended operational capability. No other registry actions or prior owners are published in the supplied data; the current record emphasizes corporate ownership and operator basing in Jupiter, FL.

This airframe is outfitted in an Executive long‑range layout with typical outfitting accommodating 14–20 passengers depending on configuration, and the specific airframe lists seating as 20, indicating a high‑density executive fit or possible supplemental seating. Avionics aboard this Gulfstream are specified as Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting long‑range dispatch, advanced navigation and crew situational awareness appropriate to transcontinental and intercontinental missions. Operated from a corporate base in Jupiter, Florida, the aircraft’s mission profiles are consistent with transoceanic executive transport and high‑altitude cruise operations to take advantage of a 51,000 ft ceiling and 6,750 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow manufacturer schedules for the BR710 series and Gulfstream’s systems, with attention to long‑range systems and avionics lifecycle in a corporate usage pattern.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) sits in the long‑range, large‑cabin performance niche within business aviation, offering a balance of range (6,750 nm), speed (459 kts cruise) and high‑altitude capability (51,000 ft). Competing models in its class include other ultra‑long‑range business jets from legacy manufacturers that vie for corporate and charter demand on transcontinental and intercontinental routes. Buyer and charter demand for G550s has historically favored airframes with comprehensive avionics like Gulfstream PlaneView and well‑maintained BR710 engines; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial include engine life, maintenance records, and interior condition given its executive long‑range outfitting.
