Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N55BM, is a Gulfstream G-V built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 560. It is registered to JET FORCE V LLC, an LLC based in Fresno, CA, US, and operates on the United States civil registry (US). The airframe's public valuation is listed at $7,400,000, and listings indicate an executive configuration and active charter-adjacent usage rather than a freighter or cargo conversion. Notable registry actions: Not published.
The cabin for N55BM follows a typical executive layout; charter listings report a 14–16 passenger executive interior though the aircraft is certificated with 20 seats, and configurations include a forward galley with forward and optional aft lavatory arrangements. Avionics are fitted in the common Gulfstream G-V manner with a Honeywell SPX-8500 suite, and some reports note optional HUD/EVS equipment as available upgrades. Operationally the ship is suited to long-range, high‑altitude executive missions given its 6,425 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling, with daily utilization patterns likely centering on cross‑country and transcontinental charter or corporate transport out of its Fresno, CA base. Maintenance planning for this specific airframe will emphasize support for its twin BR700-710A110 turbofans and the electrical/avionics commonalities of the SPX-8500 package.
As a member of the Gulfstream G-V family, N55BM occupies a long-range, high‑comfort business jet niche characterized by transcontinental capability at high cruise and service ceiling numbers (459 kts, 51,000 ft, 6,425 nm). Buyer and charter demand for this generation typically reflects interest in mature long-range types where acquisition cost (here $7,400,000) balances against older‑airframe maintenance and engine shop visit cycles for BR700-series powerplants. Resale considerations for this airframe will focus on interior condition, avionics fit (factory Honeywell SPX-8500 vs. upgraded HUD/EVS), and documented maintenance of the two BR700-710A110 engines.
