Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N87WD is a Gulfstream Aerospace G-V built in 2001, serial number 649, and registered in the US. This individual G-V has been owned by Weeks-Davies Aviation Inc, a corporation based in West Palm Beach, FL, US, which serves as its operator and home base for commercial or corporate operations. Registry records and valuation surveys list the aircraft at $10,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position. Notable administrative entries include its continued listing on the U.S. registry under the current corporate owner, with no additional ownership changes published in the supplied data.
The subject Gulfstream V is typically configured to accommodate up to 20 seats, consistent with long-range corporate or charter interiors that prioritize a mix of seating, conference/office space, and service areas. Avionics fit for the G-V family generally supports extended-range operations and high-altitude flight to its certified ceiling of 51,000 ft, enabling transcontinental and intercontinental routings within its 6,250 nm range. Operated from West Palm Beach, FL, the aircraft’s mission profile under Weeks-Davies Aviation Inc likely includes executive transport and long overwater sectors; maintenance considerations reflect the BR700-series engine family’s required shop visits and OEM-supported service programs.
As a member of the Gulfstream Aerospace G-V family, this airframe occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability with cruise speeds near 488 kts and range over 6,000 nm. Typical competitors include other long-range types in the late-generation large-cabin category; buyer and charter demand for 2001-built G-Vs is influenced by airframe hours, engine cycles on Rolls‑Royce BR710 powerplants, and the prevailing pre-owned market price reflected in the listed $10,000,000 valuation. Maintenance tracking, engine shop cycles, and interior refurbishment are key resale considerations for this specific serial (649) and registration (N87WD).
