Overview

This article describes the specific Gulfstream Aerospace G-V airframe bearing registration N120LW, a 1998 build with manufacturer serial number 557. The aircraft is listed on the U.S. civil registry and is recorded as owned by N120LW LLC, a New York, NY-based entity, which serves as the primary operator/home base for the airframe. The entry emphasizes condition and provenance markers tied to its production year and single, documented corporate ownership structure.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured to accommodate up to 20 passengers, a capacity that supports high-density corporate transport or fractional/charter missions on ultra-long-range sectors. Specifics of the cabin layout and onboard avionics fit for this individual aircraft are not published in the supplied data; operators commonly tailor Gulfstream V interiors to executive or high-capacity executive-combi standards depending on mission. With a maximum certified service ceiling of 51,000 ft and a range of 6,675 nm, typical operations for this airframe include transcontinental and intercontinental non-stop routes. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe will follow Gulfstream and Rolls-Royce spares and overhaul cycles; the single documented owner, N120LW LLC, centralizes custodial and operational oversight in New York.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream Aerospace G-V (Gulfstream V) family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise speeds exemplified here by 459 kts cruise performance. Competing models in its era and segment include other ultra-long-range types from Bombardier and Dassault; resale and maintenance profiles for a 1998 G-V are influenced by engine maturity, avionics retrofits, and completion condition.
