N718MC

This entry describes the airframe registered as N718MC, a 2004-built Gulfstream G550 (G‑V) with serial number 5061. The airframe is owned by Radical Ventures LLC, an LLC based in Dallas, TX, US, and is registered in the US; the registration and corporate ownership represent the principal documented movements in its administrative history. The aircraft's factory configuration and long-range capability have kept it in executive service since delivery, and current market valuation is listed at $12,900,000. Maintenance and registry records for this specific serial have followed standard US civil procedures with no additional public events recorded here.

The cabin of this G550 is configured in a typical executive multi‑zone layout, with the airframe capable of custom layouts accommodating 12–19 passengers while the published seating capacity is 20 and long‑range executive seating is fitted for extended missions. Avionics are supplied as Gulfstream PlaneView, providing integrated flight management, navigation and systems monitoring appropriate for extended overwater and high‑altitude operations. Operated from its owner's base in Dallas, TX, US, the airframe is well suited to transcontinental and intercontinental corporate missions that leverage its 6,750 nm range and cruise speed of 488 kts. Routine maintenance considerations reflect the twin BR710 turbofan heritage, with typical depot and line maintenance cycles for long‑range Gulfstream airframes.

The Gulfstream G550 (G‑V) occupies a high‑end long‑range business jet niche, offering transoceanic range, a 51,000 ft service ceiling and large executive cabins. Its principal competitors include other ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin types, and market demand has historically remained strong among corporate owners and charter operators seeking intercontinental capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on BR710 engine support, avionics updates to PlaneView standards, and the airframe's documented range and seating versatility when compared with contemporary and newer Gulfstream models.
