This airframe, registered as N917GA, is a 2011-build Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550), serial number 5317, recorded on US registry and owned by PHOENIX ESPRIT II LLC of Austin, TX, US. The registration history shows the aircraft maintained in corporate ownership since delivery with registry entries listing a full passenger fit of 20 seats. Maintenance status and valuation details are not published in the supplied data; available listings describe executive configurations and avionics options for the same model. The operator/home base is tied to the owner's location in Austin, TX, and registry actions reflect conventional US corporate ownership.

The cabin arrangement for this specific Gulfstream includes an aft galley / forward crew rest and the registry lists 20 seats, while typical executive layouts for the platform range 12–19 passengers. Avionics fit for listings of this airframe family is Gulfstream PlaneView (Honeywell Primus Epic) with optional HUD/EVS/Synthetic Vision capabilities noted in available sales and equipment descriptions. Operationally this airframe suits long‑range corporate missions and transcontinental or intercontinental charters consistent with a 6,750 nm range and high‑altitude cruise capability to 51,000 ft; typical routings would include nonstop transoceanic sectors and transcontinental hops from its Austin base. Maintenance considerations align with type‑rated support for the BR700 series engines and factory or aftermarket avionics upgrades common to G550s.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies the long‑range, ultra‑high‑performance corporate jet niche with strong demand for intercontinental missions due to its 6,750 nm range and high cruise speed. Competing models include large‑cabin, long‑range types from Bombardier and Dassault; buyers prioritize cabin comfort, avionics modernization, and engine maintenance history. Resale and upkeep considerations for this airframe emphasize BR700 engine shop visit timelines, avionics option packages such as HUD/EVS, and interior reconfiguration potential given registry‑listed seating that differs from typical executive layouts.
