N915BD

This article concerns the specific Gulfstream V airframe bearing U.S. registration N915BD, manufactured in 2002 with serial number 690. The airframe was built by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and is owned by DILLARDS INC, a corporation based in Little Rock, AR, US, which serves as its operator and home base. The aircraft is registered in the United States and its recorded market valuation for this airframe is $12,490,000. Notable registry actions are limited to the documented corporate ownership; no additional public transfers or incidents are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin of this Gulfstream V airframe is certified for 20 passenger seats in an executive layout, indicating a high-density certified executive configuration suitable for large-group corporate transport. Operated by a corporate operator based in Little Rock, Arkansas, typical missions for this airframe would exploit the G‑V’s intercontinental range of 6,500 nm and high cruise speed of 459 kts to support long-haul nonstop travel for corporate or executive delegations. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities are not published in the supplied data; maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe align with those common to Rolls‑Royce BR700‑series–powered Gulfstream V aircraft, including attention to high‑time engine and auxiliary system inspections for 2002-built examples.

The Gulfstream V family occupies the long‑range, large‑cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high‑altitude performance up to 51,000 ft. Competing models in the era and mission set include other ultra‑long‑range types from Bombardier and Dassault, with buyer and charter demand favoring platforms that combine range, payload, and cabin comfort. For a 2002 serial 690 airframe such as N915BD, resale and maintenance considerations typically reflect airframe and engine hours, adherence to service bulletins, and the costs associated with BR710 family engine support; the listed valuation is $12,490,000.
