N551HA

The airframe bearing registration N551HA is a 2011-built Gulfstream GV-SP (G550), manufacturer serial number 5345, recorded as owned by the United States Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is associated with a home base in Tulsa, OK, US, where the government owner operates from. Registry entries indicate a configuration listing of 20 seats and related changes have been recorded against the airframe, and the airframe is valued in public listings at $20,590,625, providing a documented snapshot of condition and market standing for the platform.

The cabin for this specific GV-SP airframe follows Gulfstream’s typical executive layout with published capability for up to 14–19 passengers, while registry entries list 20 seats, reflecting a certified or recorded seating arrangement that may be mission-driven. Avionics fit centers on Gulfstream’s PlaneView suite, with reported Honeywell component installations including AV-900 audio, IR-500 inertial, and MAU-913 modular avionics items listed in equipment records for this airframe. Operated by a government agency, typical mission profiles are consistent with long-range executive transport and special mission duties enabled by extended-range capability and high-altitude performance; maintenance and outfitting considerations follow government schedules and equipment listings rather than civilian charter norms.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (marketed as the G550) occupies a long-range, large-cabin performance niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental range with cruise speeds around 488 kts and service ceilings to 51,000 ft. Competing models in the marketplace include other long-range business jets offering similar payload-range capability; buyer demand for government and special-mission variants remains steady because of the platform’s avionics flexibility and endurance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this particular serial reflect documented government ownership, a defined avionics fit with Honeywell components, and a public valuation of $20,590,625, factors that influence transactional comparables and life-cycle support planning.
