The Gulfstream G‑V is an ultra‑long‑range business jet introduced in the late 1990s and noted for transoceanic capability (NBAA IFR range ~6,250 nm) and a Mach 0.85 long‑range cruise. The type typically cruises in the high‑400s KTAS, operates to FL510, and is used for long international missions, charter and corporate transport. The G‑V competes in the large‑cabin, ultra‑long‑range segment and is valued for its proven reliability, large cabin volume, and aftermarket avionics/mission upgrades. Photographic and spotting records show global operations (Europe, Australia, North America) over the last decade; the most recent public photo/spotting available in open photo archives is from 2024-11-01.
