N721KJ

This entry documents airframe N721KJ, a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) built in 2010 with manufacturer serial number 5299. The airframe is registered in the United States and is held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT; this trustee ownership is the principal recorded operator/registrant. The aircraft carries a stated market valuation of $46,500,000 and presents as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet maintained in line with typical large‑cabin Gulfstream fleet standards. The transfer to a bank trustee ownership structure is the prominent recorded change in the aircraft’s title history.

The airframe is registered with 20 seats, though the typical executive completion for a Gulfstream G550 is configured for 14–19 passengers; this suggests the aircraft’s current certificate reflects maximum seating rather than a conventional executive layout. Avionics fit for this airframe is consistent with typical G550 installations, incorporating Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView with a head‑up display (HUD) and reports of optional enhanced vision system (EVS) equipment on many completions. Based in Salt Lake City, UT by way of ownership registration, operations for this unit would commonly include long‑range intercontinental flights or domestic transcontinental missions enabled by its 6,750 nm range and high‑altitude cruise capability. Maintenance considerations mirror the G550 fleet profile, including attention to time‑between‑overhaul scheduling for Rolls‑Royce BR700 engines and avionics service on Honeywell Primus Epic suites.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies a performance niche as a long‑range, high‑speed business jet with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and useful cruise speeds around 460 kts, competing with peers in the large‑cabin segment. Typical competitors include late‑model Bombardier and Dassault long‑range types; buyer and charter demand historically favors G550s for range and cabin comfort. For this particular airframe, valuation at $46,500,000 places it within the upper‑tier pre‑owned market where maintenance history, completion standard, and avionics (HUD/EVS) materially affect resale and charter positioning. Maintenance and resale considerations for N721KJ will emphasize BR700 engine lifecycle management and record completeness under its trustee ownership structure.
