N102BG2021 Gulfstream G600

Overview

This entry covers Gulfstream GVII-G600 airframe N102BG, built in 2021 with manufacturer serial 73061. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Contrail Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Philadelphia, PA, US, and is operated as a U.S.-registered corporate jet. Public registry and spotting captions indicate a consistent executive operating role and no widely reported major incidents or registry interruptions for this serial.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N102BG is laid out in a corporate/executive configuration with seating for 9, and is described in spotting captions as containing up to four living areas consistent with Gulfstream’s optional interior zoning. Avionics are the manufacturer-standard Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck™, supporting long-range, high-speed business missions and advanced single-pilot assist features in crew operations. Typical missions for this airframe include intercontinental executive transport within its 6,600 nm capability, high-altitude cruise to 51,000 ft and fast transcontinental sectors at 488 kts. Based in Philadelphia, operator maintenance and baselining are aligned with Gulfstream support networks and Pratt & Whitney Canada engine programs, with standard corporate upkeep and tracking for a 2021-build GVII-G600.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream GVII-G600 (marketed as Gulfstream G600) sits in the large-cabin, ultra-long-range business jet niche, offering a blend of high cruise speed and extended range competitive with other top-tier types. With twin PW815GA engines rated at 15,680 lbf each, the model competes against offerings from Bombardier and Dassault in transoceanic missions and charter demand. For a 2021 example like N102BG, resale and maintenance considerations emphasize certified engine program enrollment, avionics currency for the Symmetry Flight Deck™, and interior condition given the corporate nine-seat layout, all factors that influence marketability and retained value.
