N628G

This entry covers the specific airframe N628G, a 2016-built example of the Gulfstream G280 bearing manufacturer serial number 2097. The airframe was manufactured by IAI Ltd and is owned by GENERAL DYNAMICS MISSION SYSTEMS INC, a corporation based in Fairfax, VA, US. The aircraft is US-registered and valued at $17,000,000 in available records. Operational highlights for this hull note its corporate ownership and maintenance under an institutional operator rather than individual private ownership.

The cabin of this specific G280 is fitted with a forward galley and both forward and aft cabin areas; the configuration supports typical executive layouts seating up to ten passengers while retaining a type-certificated seating capacity of 21. Avionics fit for N628G is the integrated Gulfstream PlaneView280 suite, described in documentation as a PlaneView280/Pro-Line Fusion-era integration suited to corporate mission avionics. Operated from the owner’s base in Fairfax, VA under corporate registry, the airframe’s mission profile is consistent with medium-range executive transport and corporate travel across domestic and transcontinental routes within its 3,688 nm range. Maintenance considerations follow airframe and engine support for the Honeywell AS907 series and institutional maintenance practices typical of corporate operators.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies a mid-to-large super-midsize business jet niche within the market, offering transcontinental capability at cruise speeds around 459 kts and service ceilings near 45,000 ft, as exemplified by this airframe. Competing models in similar performance classes generally command similar maintenance frameworks and resale dynamics; the presence of a comprehensive avionics fit such as PlaneView280 and corporate ownership can affect buyer interest and remarketing. For this hull, the documented valuation of $17,000,000 reflects market positioning for late-2010s G280 examples and will influence maintenance and resale considerations tied to engine hours, avionics updates, and corporate maintenance records.
