N271BB

This airframe, registered as N271BB, is a 2019-built Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite S, serial number 42000166 manufactured by Honda Aircraft Company. It is recorded as being owned by JSM HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Franklinton, LA, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe configuration and serial indicate a late-2010s production example of Honda's light business jet line; other registry actions and valuation history for this specific tail are not published in the provided data. Operationally, the jet would typically be based with or operated from the owner's local area in Franklinton or by transient business operators serving that region.

This airframe is fitted in a typical executive cabin layout providing 1 crew + 5 pax seating with an alternate 1+6 configuration and includes a private aft lavatory, reflecting its use for corporate transport and owner-operator missions. Avionics are a Honda-customized Garmin G3000 suite, supporting high-precision flight management and modern cockpit automation that suits single-pilot or professional crew operations. With a design cruise of 422 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is typically deployed on short to mid-range business sectors — regional hops and point-to-point missions within a 1,223 nm radius — where speed and cabin comfort are primary requirements. Maintenance considerations align with light business-jet practices for the HA-420 family and the twin GE Honda HF120 turbofan powerplants.

The Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite S occupies the light business jet niche, offering transregional performance with a long-range cruise and high-altitude capability relative to very light jets. Its twin GE Honda HF120 engines provide 2,095 lbf of thrust apiece, delivering a competitive cruise speed and climb performance for owner-operators and charter operators. Typical market competitors include other entry-to-mid-level light business jets that target efficient short-to-medium sectors; buyer demand centers on modern avionics, cabin flexibility (1+5 / 1+6), and low lifecycle operating costs. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on factory support, airframe hours, and engine program enrollment for the HF120 powerplants.
