Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N973AC, is a 2009-built Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) with manufacturer designation Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and serial number 5215. The airframe is owned by ALCAMO AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Jupiter, FL, US, and operates on the U.S. registry. Recorded ownership is held by ALCAMO AVIATION LLC, and there are no additional published registry actions or operators listed beyond that ownership. Valuation records indicate a market value of $17,000,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and typical midsize heavy-jet condition for a 2009 GV‑SP.
The subject airframe supports a typical executive cabin layout accommodating 14–18 passengers with forward and/or aft galley options and forward and aft lavatories; the listed configuration capacity for this example is 18 seats. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView (PlaneView II / Honeywell-based integrated flight deck), providing a modern integrated flight deck compatible with long-range operational profiles. Typical missions for this GV‑SP example would include transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport consistent with a 6,750 nm range and cruise at 459 kts from its operator base in Jupiter, FL, US. Maintenance considerations mirror the platform standard: twin BR710 powerplants and Honeywell-integrated avionics requiring specialized support and scheduled heavy checks as practiced for long-range Gulfstream fleets.
The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) family occupies the long-range ultra-long-range business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high-altitude cruise to 51,000 ft. Competing models occupy similar markets among heavy-cabin business jets and include other long-range offerings from manufacturers targeting large-cabin executive transport. Buyer and charter demand for a 2009 GV‑SP such as N973AC is influenced by equipment fit (PlaneView II/Honeywell), maintenance history, and the presence of BR710 engines; resale and maintenance considerations typically reflect the platform’s long-range capability and the cost profile of heavy-jet upkeep.
