Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N518GD, is a 2018-build Gulfstream G500 (GVII-G500) originally delivered to and currently owned by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. The corporate owner is based in Savannah, GA, and the aircraft carries a United States registration. No public record of subsequent changes in ownership or operator transitions is published for this specific registration, and the airframe is valued at $35,995,000 in available data. The aircraft’s condition highlights are limited to manufacturer and dealer outfitting reports rather than independent condition surveys.
The cabin for N518GD is reported in dealer outfitting terms as a typical 9‑place executive layout, with either forward or aft galley arrangements and the potential for configurations offering up to three living areas in alternate completions. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream’s Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight-deck automation, enhanced situational awareness, and integrated safety systems tailored to corporate operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include long-range transcontinental and intercontinental business travel within the aircraft’s 5,000 nm capability and high-speed cruise performance; operation from the owner’s Savannah, GA base is consistent with Gulfstream’s in-house use and demonstration activities. Maintenance considerations for this specific G500 align with type-common schedules for PW814GA engines and manufacturer-directed inspections under Gulfstream oversight.
The Gulfstream G500 (GVII-G500) occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche with high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, competing against other ultra-long-range bizjets in its class. Demand among corporate buyers and charter operators emphasizes cabin flexibility—such as the 9‑seat executive layouts reported for N518GD—and advanced avionics suites like the Symmetry Flight Deck. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the substantial installed value of $35,995,000, the twin PW814GA engine maintenance profile, and Gulfstream-backed support that can influence lifecycle operating economics and marketability.
