N740SS is a 1997 Gulfstream GV, registered to 740ss LLC of Tooele, UT. It works in CAPITAL JET's floating charter fleet: on the Part 135 certificate (X9XA), and positioned wherever the next trip starts rather than kept at one airport. In the twelve months to 7 September 2026 it flew 291 legs on 140 days, about 154,227 nautical miles. That is 71% more than the median Gulfstream GV in U.S. charter service (55 airframes tracked), which puts it among the harder-working examples of the type. It touched 84 airports but keeps returning to the same city pairs: 48% of legs repeat a route already flown in the year.
