N500DG

This airframe, listed as N500DG, is an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with serial number 000129. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by BLUE GRASS CAPITAL HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Naples, FL, US. There are no further publicly cited transfers or operator changes in the provided data; the current status shows a U.S. registration and a market valuation of $1,500,000, indicating a mid-life executive very light jet with retained resale value consistent with its class and configuration. The combination of serial, build year and corporate ownership suggests operation in a light business or corporate support role from the owner’s Naples, Florida base.

The cabin for this specific EA500 follows a typical small-cabin VLJ executive arrangement described as 1+4 / 5–6 passenger layout, suitable for single-pilot operations with a small executive party or light charter missions. Avionics are fitted with the IS&S Avio (Avio/Avio NG) suite, supporting the aircraft’s intended short- to mid-range business missions and enabling modern glass-cockpit capabilities consistent with the type. Typical operations for this airframe would center on regional point-to-point corporate missions within its 1,280 nm range and cruise speed of 335 kts, operating to and from its Naples, Florida base under U.S. registry. Maintenance considerations for this individual jet would reflect the twin-PW610F-A turbofans and small-cabin systems; upkeep and avionics support would be primary operational cost drivers.

The Eclipse EA500 airframe represented a very light, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet niche emphasizing economical short-to-medium regional missions with high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. With seating for 6 and the IS&S Avio avionics fit, the type targets owner-operators and light charter operators seeking compact executive transport with jet performance. Market and resale considerations for this specific airframe (serial 000129, year 2008) are influenced by engine type, avionics standardization, and corporate ownership; the stated valuation of $1,500,000 reflects those cumulative factors for a small-cabin VLJ in the current market.
