N80PN

This entry covers airframe bearing tail number N80PN, a Gulfstream G-V built in 1999 with manufacturer serial 576. The airframe is registered to BKF AVIATION LTD, a corporation based in Boston, MA, US, and carries US registration. Registry entries note the airframe configuration and seating capacity; corporate ownership and Boston as the operator/home base are the principal recorded ownership facts for this specific airframe. No public record of other operators or notable registry actions is provided beyond the current corporate registration.

The registry lists 20 seats for N80PN, while a typical executive interior for the Gulfstream G‑V fits 10–12 passengers with a forward galley and forward/aft lavatories; this indicates the airframe could be outfitted either in a denser transport configuration or a lower-density executive layout depending on operator needs. Avionics fit for the type is the Honeywell SPX-8500 (typical G‑V fit), with heads-up display (HUD) and enhanced vision system (EVS) listed as optional equipment. Typical mission profiles for an airframe with a 6,500 nm range and 459 kts cruise include long-range transcontinental and overwater executive transport, corporate shuttle operations, and ferry flights; based in Boston, the operator could deploy the aircraft on coast-to-coast and transatlantic charters or corporate missions. Maintenance considerations for this specific Gulfstream follow the type standard for twin BR700-powered large-cabin business jets, with cabin reconfiguration and avionics upgrades being the primary variables for condition and mission fit.

The Gulfstream G-V (Gulfstream V) occupies the long-range large-cabin executive transport niche, offering intercontinental range and high-altitude performance to 51,000 ft. Competing models in its era include other ultra-long-range business jets that emphasize transoceanic capability. Demand among buyers and charter operators centers on range, cabin size, and avionics currency; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on interior configuration (20-seat registry versus 10–12 executive fit), engine BR700-series status, and any avionics modernization such as SPX-8500 upgrades or HUD/EVS installations.
