Apollo Mechanical Contractors is a full-mechanical contractor — HVAC, plumbing, process piping, sheet metal — working projects across the United States from a base in Kennewick, Washington. Bruce Ratchford started it in Richland in the mid-1970s, incorporating as Apollo Sheet Metal and opening for business as Apollo in 1981.
N54BR is reported as a Gulfstream G650ER. That is owner-supplied and the public registry does not currently corroborate it: the only FAA record for N54BR is a 2000 Stemme S10-VT motor-glider, c/n 11-041, registered to Admore International Inc, and the N-number inquiry returns reserved/multiple records. A reserved number that databases have not caught up with is exactly what a pending large-cabin delivery looks like, and 54BR matches Bruce Ratchford's initials — but neither of those is evidence, and this entry is weaker than every other row in the Pacific Northwest batch.
Hex A6D5BC is derived from the N-number and is correct for N54BR whatever airframe currently wears it. That cuts both ways: if the Stemme is the aircraft transmitting it, it will appear on this map as a G650ER until the registry is re-checked.
Base is the company's own region. Richland Airport itself is a 4,009ft strip, too short for a G650ER, so the home field here is Tri-Cities at Pasco — 7,707ft, twenty minutes from the Kennewick office and the only runway in the Tri-Cities that takes the type. The aircraft is reported as a frequent Boeing Field visitor.
