This entry describes airframe N972BJ, a corporate-configured Boeing 737-7AN (BBJ) delivered in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 29972. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by GWP LLC TRUSTEE, an LLC based in Kalispell, MT, US; ownership is recorded to that trustee entity. No other public operators or transfers are documented in the provided data. Valuation estimates for this airframe place its market value at $70,000,000, reflecting its configuration and role as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet derivative.

The Boeing 737-7AN (BBJ) airframe N972BJ is configured with 149 seats, consistent with a high-capacity corporate or VIP transport layout derived from narrow-body commercial roots; specific cabin fittings and avionics for this tail number are not separately published in the provided data. With an intercontinental-range capability of 6,000 nm and a cruise speed near 452 kts, typical mission profiles for this aircraft include long-range corporate transport, government or private shuttle operations, and transcontinental flights originating from the owner's base in Kalispell, MT, US. Maintenance considerations follow the BBJ/737-700 family practices for airframes powered by CFM56-7B27/B3 engines, with attention to line and heavy maintenance cycles appropriate to a 2002 build airframe.

The Boeing 737-7AN (BBJ) family occupies a niche as a corporate and VIP variant of the 737-700, offering extended range and a wide cabin compared with typical business jets. Competing platforms in the long-range corporate single-aisle segment include similarly outfitted narrow-body conversions and newer business-jet airliners; buyers and charter operators value the BBJ for range (6,000 nm) and seating flexibility (149). Resale and maintenance factors for N972BJ reflect its 2002 vintage, the installed CFM56-7B27/B3 powerplants, and the recorded valuation of $70,000,000.
