N5SN

The airframe bearing registration N5SN is a 2006-built Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550), serial number 5134, recorded in the United States registry. It is owned by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the jet on record. The registry lists a full-cabin capacity and documents equipment such as the Gulfstream PlaneView avionics suite; no additional notable registry actions or transfer events are published for this specific tail number. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to registry entries and configuration notes; the airframe is presented as a typical executive G550 example in terms of year and systems fit.

The FAA registry lists up to 20 seats for N5SN, while typical executive Gulfstream G550 cabin layouts are configured for 14–18 passengers in multi‑zone arrangements; this airframe’s registration accommodates both dense and executive seating fits. Avionics are recorded as Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting long‑range, high‑altitude operations consistent with the G550’s performance envelope. With a cruise speed of 488 kts and a range of 6,750 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental executive missions, enabling non‑stop routes that leverage its high‑altitude ceiling of 51,000 ft for efficient fuel burn and favorable traffic flow. Maintenance considerations follow typical large‑cabin, twin‑engine business jet practice given the Rolls‑Royce BR700 powerplants and corporate ownership structure.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) family occupies a high‑end, long‑range business jet niche, offering extended intercontinental capability and high cruise speeds relative to many large‑cabin competitors. Competing models in similar mission categories include other ultra‑long‑range corporate jets; demand among buyers and charter operators emphasizes cabin flexibility, avionics capability such as PlaneView, and engine maintenance history. For resale and maintenance, attention typically centers on engine hours/overhaul status and avionics upgrades; as a 2006 serial 5134 airframe, N5SN would be evaluated on service records, seating configuration, and compliance with Gulfstream/Rolls‑Royce maintenance programs.
