N425RJ

This entry covers airframe N425RJ, a 2001-built Gulfstream G200 (Astra Galaxy) with manufacturer serial number 055. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by FANT AIRCRAFT ENTERPRISES LLC of Houston, TX, US, listed as an LLC on the FAA registry. The FAA registration indicates certificated seating for 21 passengers, a detail that contrasts with typical executive interior layouts; current valuation is reported at $3,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration and market position.

This airframe is commonly fitted internally with a stand-up, flat-floor cabin approximately 24.4 ft in length that is typically fitted for 8–10 executive seats, although the FAA registration lists 21 certificated seats, indicating a potential high-density configuration or placarded seating arrangement. The avionics suite typically installed on the G200 family and noted for this aircraft is the Collins Pro Line 4, supporting business and charter operations on medium- to long-range missions. With a long-range capability of 3,400 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, typical mission profiles for this specific airplane would include transcontinental U.S. flights and point-to-point international legs from its Houston base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin-engine business jets of its era, where avionics life-cycle, engine shop visits for the PW306A series, and interior reconfiguration options affect downtime and operating cost.

The Gulfstream G200 (Astra Galaxy) occupies a mid-to-large cabin, long-range business jet niche with strong cruise performance and a relatively high ceiling of 45,000 ft, competing with other late‑1990s/early‑2000s super-midsize jets. Market demand is typically driven by charter operators and corporate buyers seeking a combination of range and cabin comfort; resale value and maintenance outlook for this airframe reflect typical considerations for a 2001-built aircraft, including engine life‑limits, avionics obsolescence mitigation, and the impact of interior configuration options (executive 8–10 seats versus the certificated 21 seats) on buyer appeal.
