The airframe bearing registration N738GD is a Gulfstream GVIII-G700, serial 87138, held by the manufacturer. The build year is Not published for this specific registration; the aircraft is currently listed as owner GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP (corporation) based in Savannah, GA, US. The airframe is in a manufacturer-held dealer configuration and remains under corporate possession rather than assigned to an external operator; no public registry transfers or notable sales actions have been recorded for this tail in available data. Valuation for this specific G700 is listed at $79,000,000, and the airframe is presented as a factory-controlled demonstrator/dealer aircraft subject to Gulfstream’s inventory and remarketing policies.

This airframe is configured in a nine-seat dealer layout as retained by the manufacturer, intended to demonstrate the G700’s capabilities and to facilitate customer inspection flights. The cabin configuration for this specific serial emphasizes a compact, high-comfort executive arrangement; the G700 family supports up to 19 seats and up to five living areas in bespoke customer interiors, although this aircraft remains in a 9-seat dealer fit. Avionics are the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck™, supporting advanced flight-envelope protections and integrated pilot displays suited for long-range business-aviation missions. Typical missions for the G700 platform include transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point executive transport within the aircraft’s 7,750 nm range and long-endurance cruise profile; as a manufacturer-held demonstrator, its utilization profile is likely concentrated on demonstration flights, certification support, and customer delivery preparations.

The Gulfstream GVIII-G700 occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability coupled with a high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft ceiling that enables favorable routing and fuel efficiency. Competing models target similar markets from other legacy business-jet manufacturers; the G700’s Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 powerplants and advanced Symmetry Flight Deck™ aim to differentiate on performance and cockpit modernity. As a manufacturer-owned, dealer-configured example, resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by factory maintenance records and demonstrator utilization, with valuation at $79,000,000 reflecting both new-aircraft pricing dynamics and the aircraft’s inventory status.
