Model & Market Context
N977HS is a 2012 Gulfstream Aerospace GV-SP (G550), MSN 5385, registered in the United States to BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (Salt Lake City, UT). The airframe carries a high‑range, large‑cabin configuration typical of late‑production G550s and is commonly photographed in Southeast Asia on multiple occasions between 2018–2024. Certificate and airworthiness entries date to mid‑2012 with the aircraft held in trustee ownership since 2018.
The aircraft is configured for executive transport (reported 20 seats on registry listings) and is powered by two Rolls‑Royce BR710 series turbofan engines (BR710 C4‑11 / BR700‑710C4‑11) rated at approximately 15,385 lbf thrust each. Typical mission profiles for the G550 include long‑range intercontinental trips (NBAA‑IFR range ~6,750 nm) and VIP government/charter work; avionics are Gulfstream PlaneView. Photographs show a predominantly white exterior with light gold/grey cheatlines and standard G550 cabin window arrangement.
The G550 (GV‑SP) is a long‑range business jet introduced as an evolution of the Gulfstream V family, known for transoceanic range, high cruise speeds (long‑range cruise ~ Mach 0.80) and high service ceiling (51,000 ft). It competes in the ultra‑long range large‑cabin class and remains a workhorse for government, corporate and charter operators. Market listings for 2012 G550 airframes in 2024–2025 commonly show asking prices in the low‑to‑mid $20M range depending on time‑in‑service and equipment.
