N99NG

This airframe, registration N99NG, is a Gulfstream G‑V (G‑V / G1159D) built in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 501. The airframe is owned by NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORP, a corporation based in El Segundo, CA, US, and is U.S. registered. Registry and operator records indicate corporate use from the home base in El Segundo; no other ownership changes are published in the provided data. The aircraft is appraised at $9,800,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical market considerations for late‑1990s large-cabin Gulfstreams.

This specific G‑V is fitted in an executive multi‑zone layout that accommodates a typical configuration of 12–20 seats depending on fit, with a forward and/or aft galley as indicated by the common cabin options. Avionics for this airframe are noted as Honeywell SPZ‑8500 / Primus Epic, with PlaneView upgrades commonly installed in this model series; the installed fit supports long‑range corporate missions and modern cockpit situational awareness. Typical operations for the owner are long‑haul corporate and mission flights from the El Segundo, California base, exploiting the Gulfstream G‑V’s intercontinental range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its corporate registry and are consistent with large‑cabin Gulfstreams of the period, where avionics retrofits and engine shop visits are significant lifecycle cost drivers.

The Gulfstream G‑V family occupies the high‑end large‑cabin, long‑range piston replacement niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a cruise speed around 459 kts and ceiling to 51,000 ft. Competitors in its era include similarly sized long‑range business jets; demand is driven by corporations and charter firms seeking high speed and range. For this particular airframe (serial 501, 1998 build), resale and maintenance considerations hinge on avionics modernization (PlaneView/Primus Epic upgrades common), engine hours and shop status for the BR700 series, and the corporate‑spec interior that can influence marketability within the late‑model pre‑owned large‑jet sector.
