Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N285FA is a 2020-built Gulfstream G280, serial number 2207, manufactured by IAI Ltd (Israel Aerospace Industries) in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace. The airframe is registered in the United States and is listed to owner ANDERSON AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LLC, an LLC based in Raleigh, NC. The aircraft appears on registry records with an operator-configured 21-seat layout noted in the registration entry, and its market valuation is recorded at $20,000,000. There are no additional publicly supplied ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the current registration and valuation data.
The registered configuration for this specific G280 is an operator-configured 21-seat layout as recorded in the registration entry; typical VIP conversions for the model, by contrast, are commonly fitted as 8–10 passenger forward-club arrangements with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, indicating this airframe is set up for higher-density transport or special-mission use. The avionics complement is listed as Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting advanced flight management, integrated displays, and modern navigation capabilities appropriate for long-range business or charter operations. Based at Raleigh, NC, the aircraft’s 3,600 nm range and 459-knot cruise speed make it suitable for transcontinental missions within the continental United States and nonstop routes to much of the Caribbean and parts of South America. Maintenance considerations follow standard G280 program requirements for Honeywell HTF7250G powerplants and avionics software/avionics retrofits.
The Gulfstream G280 occupies a performance niche as a super-midsize business jet offering transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft ceiling that provides operational flexibility in congested airspace. Competing models in this segment include aircraft from Bombardier and Embraer families that offer similar range and cabin size; buyer and charter demand typically favors well-equipped, low-time examples with modern avionics suites such as PlaneView280™. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine program enrollment for the Honeywell HTF7250G engines, documented maintenance history, and the unique 21-seat configuration, which can affect marketability relative to standard VIP interiors.
