N230TG

This airframe, N230TG, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built Astra 1125 SPX completed in 1996 with manufacturer's serial number 086. The airframe is recorded as owned by Thurston Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Vero Beach, FL, US, and is registered in the US. The current recorded valuation for the type on this airframe is $2,000,000, reflecting its age and typical market position for late-model Astra SPX examples. No additional prior ownership or notable registry actions are published beyond the current ownership and US registration.

The cabin for this Astra 1125 SPX follows the typical executive layout accommodating 6–9 passengers, though the type is certificated for 14 seats, and this airframe reflects common executive configuration choices such as a forward galley and a full‑width aft lavatory. Avionics aboard SPX airframes commonly started with Collins Pro Line 4‑style installations; this machine is noted within that standard fitment, with the caveat that many SPX examples later receive avionics upgrades depending on operator requirements. Operated from Vero Beach, FL, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short-to-medium haul executive transport and charter work, taking advantage of its transcontinental range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect standard IAI Astra SPX practices and the continuing need to modernize avionics and interior to maintain charter appeal and residual value.

The Israel Aircraft Industries Astra 1125 SPX occupies a performance niche as a high‑speed, medium‑range business jet with competitive cruise speed and transcontinental capability. Typical competitors in the same market window include other late‑generation cabin jets offering similar range and payload. Buyer and charter demand for SPX examples tends to hinge on interior condition, avionics modernization, and engine program status; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are therefore influenced by its original Collins Pro Line 4‑style avionics fit, age since 1996, and the recorded market value of $2,000,000.
