Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N552HA, a Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) built in 2010 with serial number 5288, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. The airframe is recorded as owned and operated by the government organization DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY, based in Tulsa, OK, US; it appears on the U.S. registry as a government-operated mission platform. The aircraft’s transition to government service and sustained operation from Tulsa reflect a dedicated mission role rather than private or charter use. The listed market valuation for this specific configuration and condition is approximately $18,000,000.
The aircraft is outfitted in a government/mission cabin configured for 20-seat operations, supporting personnel transport, mission specialists, or configured mission systems as required by the owner. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView, providing integrated flight displays and systems suited to high-end corporate and special-mission operations. Typical employment for this airframe centers on long-range government transport, test support, and mission deployments consistent with the Missile Defense Agency’s operational requirements, with Tulsa, Oklahoma serving as the home base for maintenance and sortie generation. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include support for Rolls‑Royce BR710 engines and sustainment of the PlaneView avionics suite to meet agency readiness standards.
The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) family occupies the long-range large-cabin segment, offering transcontinental and intercontinental range with high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in this niche include long-range variants from Bombardier and Dassault; demand among government and corporate buyers tends to favor mature, well-supported platforms like the G550 for mission reliability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its government mission configuration and age since 2010, factors that influence market comparables and refurbishment timelines.
