Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N147SW, is a 2002-built Gulfstream G100 (IAI Astra SPX) with manufacturer serial number 147. It is registered in the United States and is owned by FINK FAMILY AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Wesley Chapel, FL, US, which is the known operator/home base for the type record. The aircraft is listed with an estimated market value of $2,500,000, and available registry details indicate it remains in transport-category configuration with documented certification for up to 19 seats. No public record of additional ownership transfers or notable incidents is published in the supplied data.
N147SW is commonly configured internally in a typical executive 7–8 place VIP layout while remaining certified to carry up to 19 passengers in its transport-category certification. The airframe type is commonly fitted with the Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite; the specific avionics fit for N147SW is not published beyond that common configuration. Operationally, the G100/Astra SPX is used for short to medium long-range executive transport and charter missions, capitalizing on its 3,256 nm range and cruise of 459 kts to connect regional and transcontinental city pairs. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe align with twin-engine business jet programs, with particular emphasis on Honeywell TFE731 series engine support and airframe inspections commensurate with transport-category seating and operation.
The Gulfstream G100 (IAI Astra SPX) occupies a mid-size, long-range business jet niche offering higher cruise speed and range than light jets while carrying more passengers than many competitors. Typical competitors include older midsize cabin jets and some light-heavy conversions from the same era. Buyer and charter demand for a 2002 G100 like N147SW depends on maintenance status, avionics fit, and interior condition; the supplied value of $2,500,000 reflects a market where older midsize jets trade on lifecycle, engine time, and refurbishment needs. Resale and maintenance considerations prioritize Honeywell TFE731 overhaul history and the condition of the transport-category interior and avionics suite.
