N1818S2024 Gulfstream G500

Overview

This airframe, registered as N1818S, is a 2024-build Gulfstream GVII-G500 with serial number 72155. It is owned by Stephens Investments Holdings LLC, a corporation based in Little Rock, AR, US, and carries a United States registration. Condition highlights reflect a current production-era GVII-G500 specification and operator-configured executive layout.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin aboard this specific GVII-G500 is an operator-configured nine-seat executive layout with both forward and aft lavatories; full galley options are available on the G500 platform and can be specified to owner preference. Avionics are fitted with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting integrated flight guidance and crew situational awareness typical of the type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would leverage its long range of 5,300 nm and high cruise speed of 488 kts to operate intercontinental point-to-point corporate missions from its Little Rock base or similar U.S. hubs. Maintenance considerations follow Gulfstream factory schedules for the GVII series and powerplant maintenance specific to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA engines.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream GVII-G500 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its class target buyers and charter operators seeking a combination of range, speed, and modern flightdeck automation such as the Gulfstream Symmetry suite. For prospective owners or asset managers, resale and maintenance considerations include the high value retention of late-build Gulfstream GVII examples and ongoing support requirements for twin PW814GA engines and type-specific avionics upgrades.
