N888HE

The airframe bearing tail number N888HE is a 2001 Gulfstream G-V built by Gulfstream Aerospace, serial number 638. The aircraft is recorded as owned by GOLDEN SKY INC, a corporation based in Camden, DE, US, and is registered in the US. Its registry reflects corporate ownership rather than an individual operator, and the airframe carries an estimated value of $9,800,000. Maintenance and valuation notes for this specific airframe are tied to its 2001 build year and the Gulfstream G-V platform’s typical mid-life service requirements.

The cabin for this Gulfstream G-V is configured to accommodate 20 seats, consistent with large-cabin, long-range corporate transport missions; specifics of the internal layout and finish for this airframe are owner-dependent. Avionics and systems fit are typical of the G-V series and support cruise at 459 kts and flight levels up to 51,000 ft, enabling transcontinental and transoceanic routings within its 6,500 nm range. Based on the registered owner’s location in Camden, DE, US, operational basing and maintenance oversight are likely conducted within the United States regulatory framework. Long-term mission profiles for this airframe would include executive transport, group travel, and high-end charter operations; maintenance considerations reflect the BR700-series engine support and mid‑life airframe inspections common to 2001-build G-Vs.

The Gulfstream G-V family occupies the long-range, large-cabin niche, offering performance such as the 6,500 nm range and high cruise speeds around 459 kts, competing with other late-1990s/early-2000s ultra-long-range business jets. Demand in the buyer and charter markets for a 2001 G-V like N888HE is influenced by condition, avionics updates, and engine program status for the Rolls-Royce BR710A1-10 powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial 638 aircraft include overhaul and life-limited components typical of the type, with valuation centered near $9,800,000 for an aircraft of this vintage and configuration.
