N18RF2001 Gulfstream V

Overview

This airframe bears the U.S. registration N18RF and is a 2001-built example of the Gulfstream G-V family, officially serial number 628. The airframe is recorded in corporate ownership under Ivanhoe Capital Aviation LLC and is registered in the US. Operator and home base details are not published.

Operations & Cabin

As a Gulfstream G-V airframe, this example typically supports long-range corporate transport and transcontinental or intercontinental point-to-point missions consistent with its 6,500 nm range and high-speed cruise profile. The installed avionics suite is the Honeywell SPX-8500, a Primus/SPX family fit commonly associated with Gulfstream G-V aircraft, enabling advanced flight management, navigation and systems monitoring for extended overwater and high-altitude operations. Cabin configuration specifics for this particular serial are not published; however, aircraft of this type are ordinarily outfitted for executive transport with multiple zone layouts and amenities tailored to corporate missions. Maintenance considerations follow the G-V program norms driven by BR710 engine support and the type-specific avionics architecture present on this airframe.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G-V occupies a high-performance ultra-long-range business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise speeds for corporate and charter owners. Competing models in the era include other large-cabin, long-range business jets; buyer and charter demand historically favors examples with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance, factors relevant to this airframe given its Honeywell SPX-8500 fit and BR710A1-10 engines.
