N95NA

This airframe, registered as N95NA, is a 2002-built Gulfstream G-V (Gulfstream V) with serial number 672, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. It is listed as owned by N.A.S.A LYNDON B JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, a government operator based in Houston, TX, US, reflecting an institutional acquisition for government/agency use rather than a private corporate customer. The airframe carries US registration in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and is valued at $10,500,000, with registry notes indicating adaptability for mission-configured interiors and government service roles.

The airframe is fitted with a three-zone executive/mission cabin configured for mission equipment installations and seating adaptable up to the registry-reported 20 seats, allowing a mix of workstations, passenger seating and equipment racks for agency missions. Avionics are reported as the typical original fit of Honeywell SPZ-8500, though the type is known to be commonly retrofitted with newer displays and flightdeck upgrades on many G‑V airframes. Operated from its owner’s base in Houston, TX, US, the platform’s long-range capability and high cruise speed support transcontinental and extended-duration missions consistent with government transport, research support, or special-mission use. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe would reflect government asset stewardship and possible mission-unique equipment cycles.

The Gulfstream G-V family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business/mission jet niche, offering transoceanic range and high cruise speed relative to older large-cabin types. Against competing long-range business jets, the G‑V’s combination of 5,500 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling supports demanding mission profiles while used airframe values around $10,500,000 reflect age, installed mission equipment and retrofit status. Buyers and operators evaluating this airframe must consider typical BR710 engine maintenance intervals and the common avionics upgrade paths that affect resale value and mission capability.
