The aircraft is owned by the government entity GRATON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY of Rohnert Park, CA, US, and is listed on U.S. registry records. The FAA-derived record shows the airframe registered for 20 seats, though the precise executive interior configuration is not publicly listed. The airframe is equipped and maintained to long-range business transport standards and reflects typical registry activity for government-operated Gulfstream V-SP examples.

The cabin for this specific aircraft is registered for 20 seats according to FAA-derived records; the exact executive layout and furnishing are not publicly listed. Avionics for the airframe are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting long-range, high-altitude operational capability. With a maximum range of 6,750 nm and a cruise speed near 488 kts, this airframe is typically employed on intercontinental government transport and long-haul executive missions originating from its home base in Rohnert Park, CA.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and a high operational ceiling of 51,000 ft, as exemplified by this airframe. Comparable aircraft in its market segment include other long-range high-performance business jets; buyer and charter demand for GV-SP examples is driven by range, cabin size, and avionics fit such as Gulfstream PlaneView. For government and corporate operators, maintenance and resale considerations typically focus on BR700 engine maintenance status, logbook completeness, and the presence or absence of a defined executive interior—factors pertinent to this aircraft given its 20-seat registration and government ownership.
