N579GA

This airframe, registered as N579GA, is a 2012-built Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) with manufacturer serial number 5379. The aircraft is owned by L3Harris Technologies / United States Air Force and is U.S.-registered; ownership is recorded as a corporate entity located in the United States. The Gulfstream GV-SP configuration of this airframe reflects a purpose-built long-range business jet pedigree, while its corporate/defense ownership suggests use in specialized transport or mission support roles rather than purely civilian charter. Public registry entries show the airframe tied to an industrial/defense operator rather than a private individual, indicating fleet maintenance protocols and record-keeping consistent with corporate and government aviation standards.

The cabin layout for this specific GV-SP airframe is not published in the provided data, but the aircraft carries Gulfstream’s avionics suite Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness, and systems integration consistent with long-range mission profiles. Given the ownership by L3Harris Technologies / United States Air Force, typical operations for N579GA would likely include extended-range executive transport, technical support missions, or government logistics flights operating from U.S. bases; maintenance and upgrades would follow corporate and military standards. The Rolls-Royce BR710 powerplants and PlaneView avionics signal attention to reliability and avionics commonality across G550-class operations, with corresponding maintenance cycles and parts support avenues.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (marketed as the G550) occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering intercontinental range and high cruise speeds; this airframe’s 6,750 nm range and 459 kt cruise make it suitable for nonstop transoceanic sectors. Competing models include other ultra-long-range platforms from Bombardier and Dassault that vie for corporate and government buyers. For corporate or government operators like the recorded owner, considerations include lifecycle maintenance of BR710 engines, avionics support for PlaneView suites, and resale dynamics influenced by mission-modified interiors and government-associated registration.
