N9UX

The airframe bearing registration N9UX is a Gulfstream V built in 1997, serial number 528, and is recorded in US civil registers. Ownership is held by JS FAMILY LLC of Dallas, TX, US, which operates the type as an executive transport; the operator/home base is indicated by the owner's stated location. The airframe carries standard type-era documentation and registry entries consistent with ongoing corporate use, and its market valuation is listed at $20,000,000, reflecting an older-generation long-range large-cabin business jet in serviceable condition. No public record of notable incident history or unusual registry actions is provided in the supplied data.

This specific Gulfstream V is outfitted with a three-zone executive cabin that supports typical layouts of 13–19 seats and is described with a forward galley, mid-cabin conference/dining area and an aft lavatory; the listed seating capacity for this airframe is 20, indicating an operator-configured layout for high-capacity executive transport. Avionics fit is noted as Gulfstream standard for the era, identified as Honeywell/PlaneView‑era avionics, supporting long-range, high-altitude operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include intercontinental point-to-point executive flights within its 6,500 nm range and long-range charter or corporate repositioning flights from its Dallas base. Maintenance considerations follow BR710 engine program requirements and large-cabin Gulfstream inspection cycles; cabin three-zone fittings imply higher maintenance and refurbishment costs over single-zone layouts.

The Gulfstream V occupies the long-range, large-cabin niche, capable of transoceanic routes at high cruise speed and altitude (here 459 kts cruise, 51,000 ft ceiling). Competing types in the same era include late-model long-range bizjets such as Bombardier’s Global series and earlier long-range offerings from Boeing Business Jet conversions for different mission profiles. Buyer and charter demand for 1997 Gulfstream Vs centers on operators valuing range and cabin volume versus younger-aircraft efficiency; resale and maintenance considerations include BR710 engine maintenance costs and avionics upgrade paths from PlaneView-era suites.
