N521GA

This entry describes airframe N521GA, a Gulfstream G-V built in 1997 bearing serial number 521. The airframe is owned by GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US, and carries a US registration in the fixed-wing multi-engine category. Retained in manufacturer inventory as an executive demonstrator and corporate asset is indicated by the ownership record; valuation records list the airframe at $8,000,000, reflecting condition and market position at the time of appraisal.

The cabin of N521GA is configured in a VIP / executive layout typical of large-cabin Gulfstream installations, supporting the stated 14–20 passenger arrangement and capable of being configured as a military VIP transport when operated as a C-37A. The airframe carries a Honeywell SPX/SPZ-series flight deck installation consistent with G-V avionics fits, supporting long-range, high-altitude executive missions. Based with its owner in Savannah, GA, US, operational use for this specific airframe would encompass manufacturer demonstrator, corporate transport, or government VIP roles, and maintenance considerations follow large-cabin BR710-supporting programs and typical VIP interior upkeep cycles.

The Gulfstream G-V family, represented here by Gulfstream G-V (Gulfstream V / C-37A), occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche with transcontinental and intercontinental capability as shown by the 6,425 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in this performance bracket prioritize similar high-thrust BR700-series powerplants and advanced Honeywell flight decks; buyer demand tends toward well-maintained, low-cycle examples, which affects resale and maintenance economics reflected in the $8,000,000 valuation. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe center on BR710 support, avionics commonality, and interior refurbishment cycles for continued VIP or government transport roles.
