N3RC

This airframe, registered as N3RC, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI 1125 Astra SPX, serial number 120, completed in 1999. The aircraft is owned by RCR AIR LLC, a corporation (LLC) based in Lexington, NC, US, which is listed as the current operator and home base for registry purposes. The airframe’s continuous U.S. registration and corporate ownership reflect a standard business-aviation operating profile, and the listed market valuation for this specific ship is $2,000,000. Maintenance status and recent major inspections are not published in the provided data.

The aircraft is certified for 14 seats, though typical executive layouts configure the cabin to seat 6–9 passengers and include a forward galley and a full-width aft lavatory, reflecting common executive transport outfitting. Regular missions for this airframe under RCR AIR LLC are likely to include medium- to long-range business trips, point-to-point charters, and cross-country repositioning flights enabled by the 2,877 nm range and 450 kt cruise, operating from the owner’s base in Lexington, NC, US. No specific avionics fit or supplemental equipment list is provided; typical operational considerations for this model class include performance management at its 45,000 ft ceiling and scheduled maintenance of the twin Honeywell TFE731 engines. Cabin amenities and interior condition are not described beyond the certified layout.

The IAI 1125 Astra SPX occupies a performance niche as a light-to-midsize business jet offering transcontinental range and high cruise speed for its category of fixed-wing multi engine aircraft. Competitors in the market niche typically include derivatives of early-generation light jets that balance seating for up to a dozen passengers with long-range capability. Buyer and charter demand for late-1990s airframes is influenced by engine life cycles and airframe refurbishment needs; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin Honeywell TFE731-40R engines and the documented valuation of $2,000,000.
