This specific GVIII‑G700 is fitted with a bespoke cabin that can be arranged into up to five living areas and is configurable for 8–19 passengers, with a typical executive layout set for 13 seats. The aircraft is equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight-envelope protections and integrated avionics workflows used in long‑range executive operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize transcontinental and intercontinental point‑to‑point transport, exploiting the type’s long‑range capability of 7,750 nm and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft to optimize fuel burn and time‑on‑station at high cruise of 488 kts. Specific operator base, maintenance program details, and unique on‑board amenities for N785GD are Not published.

The Gulfstream GVIII‑G700 occupies the ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin business jet niche, offering a blend of high cruise speed and long intercontinental reach. It competes with other ultra‑long‑range platforms in the large‑cabin sector, targeting corporate flight departments, large private owners, and charter operators seeking transoceanic capability. Given its specification—twin Rolls‑Royce Pearl 700 engines, high cruise, and extensive cabin flexibility—buyer demand typically centers on customers prioritizing range, cabin comfort, and modern avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the aircraft’s advanced systems and high acquisition value ($79,000,000), with lifecycle costs and engine support arrangements (Rolls‑Royce Pearl 700) being key factors for operators and lessors.
