Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N135CX, is a Honda HA-420 Hondajet Elite II built by Honda Aircraft Co LLC in 2022 with serial number 42000237. The aircraft is owned by Valiair Limited Company Trustee, a limited liability company based in Casper, WY, and is registered in the US. Its documented status reflects a relatively recent build and entry into service under the trustee ownership, with no additional ownership transfers published in the provided data. Valuation records list the airframe at $6,800,000, indicating market positioning for a late-model light business jet in standard condition.

The onboard cabin for this specific Hondajet follows a typical executive club arrangement, described as a fully enclosed lavatory and standard layouts accommodating 1 crew + 6 pax typical with optional 1+7 or 2+5 configurations; the certificate and operator documentation list typical operation with the executive club layout. Avionics are outfitted with Garmin G3000, supporting modern flightdeck capabilities, situational awareness, and single-pilot or two-pilot operation profiles. Operating from its reported base in Casper, WY, missions for this airframe would typically include short- to mid-range business travel up to its 1,547 nm range and high-speed cruise of 422 kts, while maintenance follow-on would align with OEM and GE Honda HF120 engine schedules and Garmin avionics service programs.

The Honda HA-420 Hondajet Elite II occupies the light, high-performance business jet niche with a composite airframe and over-the-wing engine mounts for reduced cabin noise and aerodynamic efficiency. With its twin GE Honda HF120 engines producing 2,050 lbf each and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, it competes with other light jets in owner-operated and charter markets where single- or two-pilot capability and modern avionics suites like Garmin G3000 are valued. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2022 airframe revolve around adherence to OEM inspection intervals, engine program enrollment, and the desirability of a clean US registration such as N135CX for prospective buyers or charter operators.
