N280DX

The airframe bearing tail number N280DX is a Gulfstream G280 built in 2012 with manufacturer serial 2011. It is owned by BARRACUDA AIR LLC, an LLC based in Pittsburgh, PA, US, and is registered in the US. The record for this specific airframe indicates a standard ownership timeline with the current operator based in Pittsburgh; no extraordinary registry actions or ownership disputes have been published for this airframe. Condition highlights reflect a business-jet configuration maintained to executive standards typical for a 2012 Gulfstream G280.

This airframe is configured to accommodate up to two living areas and typically presents a VIP executive layout of 8–10 places with a forward galley and aft lavatory, supporting transcontinental and some intercontinental missions within a 3,600 nm range. Avionics are the factory-integrated PlaneView280 suite, which supports modern flight management, avionics integration and performance for the type. Typical operations for the owner-operator based in Pittsburgh would include executive transport and on-demand charter-style missions across North America; cruise speed of 459 kts and a 45,000 ft ceiling enable efficient, high-altitude routing. Maintenance considerations align with twin Honeywell HTF7250G engine program requirements and Gulfstream structural/avionics schedules for a 2012-build airframe.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize cabin-performance niche, offering near-long-range capability with high cruise speed and cabin comfort for corporate operators. Competing models in this segment include other super-midsize platforms that balance range (around 3,600 nm) and speed (near 459 kts), attracting owner-operators and charter providers seeking transcontinental capability without ultra-long-range costs. Market considerations for this airframe emphasize engine maintenance lifecycle on the Honeywell HTF7250G pair, avionics support for PlaneView280, and typical resale dynamics for a well-maintained 2012 Gulfstream, where operational history and installed cabin configurations materially affect demand.
