N722GD

This airframe, registered as N722GD, is a Gulfstream GVIII-G700 bearing manufacturer serial 87122. It is owned by GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US, and appears on the U.S. registry as a manufacturer-owned example. Retained by the manufacturer as a corporate-operated airframe, the unit is recorded with a 9-seat manufacturer registration and is valued at $80,000,000. Registry entries and ownership indicate the aircraft remains associated with Gulfstream’s Savannah operations rather than a third-party operator.

The manufacturer registration lists 9 seats for this specific GVIII-G700, though the type is configurable to up to five living areas and as many as 19 seats depending on outfitting. The aircraft is fitted with Gulfstream’s Symmetry Flight Deck avionics suite, supporting advanced flight management and pilot-assist capabilities appropriate for long-range, high-speed business missions. Typical operations for this airframe type include intercontinental point-to-point missions enabled by a 7,750 nm range and a cruise speed near 562 kts, originating from the owner’s Savannah, GA base. Maintenance considerations for this factory-owned example include support pathways through Gulfstream and Rolls‑Royce for the Pearl 700 engines and OEM avionics support given its role within the manufacturer’s fleet.

The Gulfstream GVIII-G700 occupies the ultra-long-range business jet segment with performance metrics—range of 7,750 nm, cruise 562 kts, and 51,000 ft ceiling—tailored to non-stop transoceanic missions. Buyers and charter markets seek the model for its long-range capability and flexible cabin architecture (up to five living areas), while manufacturer-owned examples like N722GD are often used to demonstrate capabilities and validate aftermarket support. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize OEM-supported engine and avionics programs for the Rolls‑Royce Pearl 700 engines and the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, influencing lifecycle costs and market demand for well-documented factory-owned airframes.
