Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N97FN, is a 2014-built Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) with manufacturer serial number 5498. It is owned by KLEINHEINZ CAPITAL PARTNERS INC, a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US, and carries a United States registration. The aircraft’s registry and operator domicile place it within the U.S. business aviation fleet; there are no public records here of prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the stated corporate ownership. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the supplied data.
The cabin for this specific G550 is described in the typical executive configuration, capable of an executive 14–20 place layout, with final outfitting dependent on owner specification; this airframe’s seat count is listed as 20. Avionics fit follows the common Gulfstream standard for the model, with Gulfstream PlaneView™ as the typical G550 avionics architecture installed. Operationally, a G550 with a 6,750 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed is typically deployed on long-range corporate, intercontinental and transoceanic missions from its Fort Worth base, serving nonstop sectors that leverage its high-altitude 51,000 ft ceiling for fuel efficiency and traffic flexibility. Maintenance considerations are those standard to BR700-series turbofan fleets and Gulfstream large-cabin platforms, influenced by owner outfitting and utilization rates.
The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies a long-range large-cabin niche within business aviation, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competitors in the same mission class include other long-range business jets offering similar range and cabin scale; demand among corporate owners and charter operators historically favors the G550 for reliability and performance. Resale and maintenance considerations commonly reference BR700 engine overhaul cycles and avionics upgrade paths — the presence of PlaneView™ and the aircraft’s manufacturing year (2014) are relevant to market valuation and modernization planning.
