N550LK

This airframe, registered as N550LK, is a Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) built in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 5023 by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by N550LK LLC, an LLC based in Palo Alto, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s valuation is recorded at $15,000,000, reflecting its configuration and age; maintenance and condition specifics are held by the registered owner and operator. No additional ownership timeline or public registry actions beyond the current LLC ownership are published in the supplied data.

The cabin is outfitted in a typical executive 14–18 place layout with a forward galley, mid-cabin seating and an aft lavatory/baggage area, supporting both corporate transport and long-range executive missions. Avionics are the Gulfstream PlaneView suite, enabling modern cockpit automation and long-range operational capability. Based on the owner’s listed location, the aircraft’s operator/home base activity is centered in Palo Alto, CA, US, and missions would typically include transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point travel within the G550’s long-range performance. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with Gulfstream G550 program practices and Rolls‑Royce BR710 engine support, with attention to aging‑airframe inspections commensurate with a 2003 build.

The Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, prized for transoceanic range and high‑altitude cruise capability. Its performance—6,750 nm range, 459 kt cruise and a 51,000 ft ceiling—competes with other ultra-long-range types and late-model large-cabin jets. Buyer and charter demand typically focus on cabin size, avionics like PlaneView, and engine support status; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on records, refurbishment level of the 14–18 place interior, and ongoing Rolls‑Royce BR710 support.
