N888HK

This airframe, registered as N888HK, is a 2008-built Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) with manufacturer serial number 5213. The airframe is owned by BANKER AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Lynchburg, VA, US) and is operated from that operator/home base as listed in U.S. registry records. The aircraft is recorded in U.S. civil registers with an executive cabin configured and registered as 20 seats; its registry entry and ownership reflect a corporate LLC operator rather than individual ownership. Valuation information lists the aircraft at $15,000,000, indicating market positioning for a mid-life large-cabin long-range business jet.

The specific cabin for this airframe is registered as an executive 20-seat configuration, reflecting a high-capacity corporate or charter interior rather than a standard airliner layout. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting modern flight-deck systems and long-range operation profiles typical of Gulfstream long-range business jets. With a range of 6,750 nm and a cruise speed of 459 kts, typical missions for this aircraft include intercontinental nonstop flights and transoceanic corporate transport. As an LLC-owned asset based in Lynchburg, VA, US, routine maintenance and operation are structured around corporate flight department practices and regulatory compliance under U.S. registration. The twin Rolls‑Royce BR710 C4‑11 engines require OEM-backed maintenance practices consistent with BR700-series support programs.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) family occupies the long-range, large-cabin niche, offering transcontinental and transoceanic capability with high cruise speeds and a service ceiling up to 51,000 ft. Competing models in its segment include late-model long-range business jets from Bombardier and Dassault; buyer and charter demand for well-maintained G550s remains driven by range, cabin size, and avionics like PlaneView. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe (serial 5213) center on engine program enrollment and cabin reconfiguration potential, with market valuation reported at approximately $15,000,000 reflecting age, configuration, and maintenance history as recorded in the registry.
