N297SF

This airframe, registered as N297SF, is a 2019-built example of the Honda HA-420 (HondaJet Elite S) manufactured by Honda Aircraft Company, LLC and bearing serial number 42000145. The aircraft is owned by VICTOR AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Saint George, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe reflects factory production standards for the Elite S and remains in active corporate/owner-operator hands; its registration and ownership are notable as representative of owner-operated light business jets in the western United States.

The aircraft is typically outfitted for single-pilot operation with a standard cabin layout of 1 crew + 5 pax, with an alternate certification for up to 1 + 6 seating; executive club and side-facing seating configurations are commonly fitted in this airframe type, and this example is consistent with those market norms. Avionics are provided by a Honda-customized Garmin G3000 suite, delivering integrated flightdeck functionality and advanced situational awareness for single-pilot operations. Operated from Saint George, UT, US by the owner-operator entity, the platform is well suited to short- to mid-range point-to-point missions across continental U.S. routes and regional shuttle operations. Maintenance considerations align with light twin turbofan program practices, focusing on the GE Honda HF120 engines and Garmin-integrated avionics lifecycle.

The Honda HA-420 (HondaJet Elite S) occupies a niche in the light business jet category, offering high cruise speeds (here 422 kts) and transcontinental range for its class (1,223 nm) while maintaining single-pilot capability and a compact cabin for up to eight seats. Typical competitors include other entry-level light jets that balance speed, range and operating economics. Buyer demand for this family centers on owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient short-haul performance; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine shop visit cycles for the GE Honda HF120 and support for the Garmin G3000 integration.
