Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N142HQ is a 2013-build Gulfstream registered in the United States with serial number 4288. The aircraft is owned by GOLDEN ALPHA AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Henderson, Nevada, US, and operates from that operator/home base as its primary registry address. The airframe’s current recorded valuation is $16,000,000, reflecting market positioning for late-model examples of this configuration. No alternate operators, leases or transfers are published beyond the corporate ownership noted here.
The fitted cabin for this specific Gulfstream emphasizes flexible executive layouts with capacity for up to 19 passengers and typical outfittings for 12–14 pax, while the registered seating count is 22, allowing for varied combinations of crew and passenger accommodation. The aircraft is equipped with a Gulfstream avionics suite, specifically Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting typical long-range corporate transport missions and IFR operations within its performance envelope. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and intercontinental corporate travel consistent with a 4,350 nm range and a long-range cruise speed near 459 kts; the corporate owner in Henderson, NV would use these capabilities for point-to-point executive transport. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the twin Rolls-Royce TAY 611-8C engines and Gulfstream airframe schedules; no other unique modifications or notable maintenance events are published for this serial.
This airframe is a representative example of the Gulfstream G450 (GIV‑X) family, which targets the long-range midsize corporate jet niche with twin Rolls-Royce turbofans and high cruise performance. Competing models occupy similar transcontinental roles and buyer or charter demand for late-model examples is typically driven by range, cabin flexibility and avionics standards such as Gulfstream PlaneView. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect engine-time accumulations, Gulfstream OEM support cycles, and the documented corporate ownership structure in Henderson, NV; the current valuation is listed at $16,000,000.
