N280LS

This airframe, registered as N280LS, is a 2014-built Gulfstream G280 with manufacturer serial number 2001, produced by IAI LTD. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as being owned by the corporate entity PLANE 79 LLC of Sterling Heights, MI, US, with the company listed as the on-record owner and likely operator based from that location. The certificate indicates a U.S. registration and standard corporate ownership structure rather than individual private ownership. The airframe is valued at approximately $24,500,000, reflecting typical market pricing for a well-equipped G280 from the 2014 production year; no extraordinary damage history or deregistration actions are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin for this G280 is described with flexible executive layouts, with typical executive arrangements configured for fewer than ten passengers while the type certificate lists certificated seating up to 21. Avionics fit on the model are typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, which supports advanced flight management, synthetic vision, and integrated cockpit displays suitable for high-performance business missions. Operationally the airframe suits transcontinental and intercontinental city-pair missions within its roughly 3,600 nm range and high-speed cruise near 459 kts, commonly used by corporate flight departments or charter operators based from its registered location. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine Honeywell AS907 series support networks and scheduled inspections common to Gulfstream operator programs; corporate ownership implies continued adherence to factory-recommended maintenance and avionics upgrades.

The Gulfstream G280 family occupies a super-midsize business jet niche emphasizing transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a high service ceiling of 44,700 ft. Competing models typically include later-model super-midsize jets from other manufacturers that target similar range and cabin comfort; buyers often prioritize proven Honeywell AS907 engine support and modern avionics such as Pro Line Fusion. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2014 G280 like N280LS center on engine shop visit cycles, avionics obsolescence management, and the aircraft’s corporate registry status, all factors that influence demand and valuation in the preowned market.
