Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N120GF is a 2022 production Honda HA-420 Hondajet Elite S, serial 42000232, manufactured by Honda Aircraft Company (Honda Aircraft Co LLC). The aircraft is owned by GOLDEN AVIATION LLC of Golden, CO, US, and is US-registered; its current valuation is listed at $5,500,000. The entry reflects a relatively recent build year and single corporate ownership record as provided, with no additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions published for this specific airframe. The aircraft's specification and equipment fit align with Honda's factory-delivered Elite S configuration for that model year.

The cabin of this Hondajet Elite S is configured for a typical single-pilot operation with seating for 1 pilot + 5 pax (single-pilot capable) or alternatively 2 crew + 4–5 pax, providing operational flexibility for owner-operators or charter use. The airframe includes an externally serviceable aft lavatory and 66 cu ft of combined baggage capacity, features that support light business travel and short to medium-range missions within its 1,437 nm range. Avionics aboard this specific aircraft are a Garmin G3000-based integrated suite with common fits including the Garmin GFC-700 autopilot and Class-C ADS-B options, supporting single-pilot IFR operations and modern situational awareness. Operated from its owner’s base in Golden, CO, US, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point business missions and regional travel profiles typical for light business jets.

The Honda HA-420 Hondajet Elite S occupies a niche in the light business jet market emphasizing cabin ergonomics and efficient cruise performance, exemplified by this example’s 422 kt cruise and 43,000 ft ceiling. Competing models typically include other entry-level light jets where buyers balance purchase price—this airframe’s $5,500,000 valuation—and operating economics against payload and cabin amenities. For maintenance and resale considerations, factory-equipped features such as the GE Honda HF120 engines and Garmin G3000 avionics help standardize support and may influence residual value, while single-owner history and recent build year are relevant factors for prospective buyers or charter operators.
