N518GA

This airframe, registered as N518GA, is a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) built by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp in 2020 with serial number 5618. The aircraft is owned by L3Harris Technologies Flight Capital LLC and holds a US registration; no public operator or home base is published beyond corporate ownership. There are no additional publicly reported registry actions beyond its issuance of U.S. registration following manufacture. The airframe’s reported market value is $30,000,000, reflecting a late‑model long‑range Gulfstream configured for mission roles rather than a standard executive layout.

The interior of N518GA is reported in a Mission/crew‑station configuration reported for EA‑37B conversions (not a standard executive layout) rather than a conventional executive cabin, indicating outfitting for specialized mission systems, communications, and operator workstations. Avionics are listed as Gulfstream PlaneView / Honeywell Primus Epic as a typical G550 baseline, though mission systems may replace or augment this fit for EA‑37B conversion roles. Typical operations for this configuration would emphasize long‑range surveillance, communications relay, or multi‑crew mission profiles rather than passenger charter routes; maintenance considerations therefore include mission‑system avionics support and specialized equipment lifecycle management. As a corporate‑owned asset with a missionized cabin, the aircraft likely follows a maintenance program aligned with both Gulfstream factory practices and mission‑system vendor requirements.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) family occupies the long‑range business jet niche with transcontinental and intercontinental range and high cruise speed, appealing to operators needing rapid point‑to‑point capability or mission endurance. Competitors in performance and mission adaptability include large‑cabin types offering similar range such as certain Bombardier and Dassault models. For a 2020 airframe like 5618, resale considerations hinge on the mission conversion; missionized interiors and bespoke systems can limit the pool of buyers compared with standard executive G550s, while the late build year and Rolls‑Royce BR700 engines support ongoing demand for capable, long‑range fixed‑wing multi‑engine platforms.
