N55FV

This airframe, registered as N55FV, is a 1997-built Gulfstream G-V originally constructed with serial number 533. It is owned by the corporate entity ISH FLIGHT LLC of Bloomfield Hills, MI, US, and carries United States registration. The jet’s documented market valuation is $18,000,000, reflecting its mature age and long-range capability; no alternate ownership history is provided beyond the current corporate owner. The airframe’s records indicate a standard executive configuration and avionics fit consistent with mid-life upgrades for long-range business operations.

The cabin of this Gulfstream G-V is arranged with a forward four-place club, a mid four-place club, and an aft section containing two four-place facing divans, providing a total of 16 passenger seats. The layout includes forward and aft lavatories, forward and aft galleys, and a crew rest area, supporting long-range, transoceanic missions up to 6,500 nm at a typical cruise of 488 kts and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft. Avionics aboard are reported as the Honeywell Primus Elite (DU-885 / PEAF) / SPZ-8500 suite, and this specific airframe is noted to have HUD and FANS/CPDLC capability, enhancing long-range flight deck communications and situational awareness. Based at the owner’s locale in Bloomfield Hills for registry purposes, the aircraft’s configuration supports corporate transport, long-haul charter, or relocation missions with typical maintenance considerations for BR710 engines and mid-life avionics support.

The Gulfstream G-V family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering intercontinental range and high cruise speeds for up to middle-teens passenger capacities as exemplified by this Gulfstream G-V (G-V) airframe. Competing models in the same era and mission class include large-cabin types from Bombardier and other Gulfstream variants; owners typically evaluate total hours, BR710 engine maintenance cycles, and avionics upgrades when assessing resale or charter demand. Given the reported Honeywell Primus Elite suite and FANS/CPDLC capability, this particular airframe retains operational relevance for oceanic routes, though its mid-1997 build year and a market valuation near $18,000,000 reflect both depreciation and the premium for long-range capability with modernized avionics.
