This specific G280, N653JC, is certified for up to 21 seats but is commonly completed in VIP configurations of eight to ten seats with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the supplied configuration notes that typical VIP completions are 8–10 seats while the type certificate allows the larger passenger layout. The airframe is equipped with the Gulfstream PlaneView280™ avionics suite, supporting the operational profile implied by a long-range, high-speed business jet. With a cruise speed of 459 kts and a range of 3,600 nm, missions for this aircraft would typically include transcontinental or long offshore hops from its base in Wheeling, IL, US and operator activities consistent with corporate or charter use. Specific unique amenities or maintenance records for this airframe are not published in the provided data.

The Gulfstream G280 represented by N653JC occupies a performance niche defined by a sub-4,000 nm range at high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling, balancing payload and transcontinental reach. The aircraft’s twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines producing 7,624 lbf each underpin its high-speed cruise and operating ceiling characteristics. Its certification for up to 21 seats contrasts with the common VIP completions of 8–10, affecting buyer appeal between high-capacity and luxury configurations. With a listed value of $14,000,000, considerations for prospective buyers or charter operators center on configuration choices, completion state, and lifecycle maintenance associated with a 2014-build mid-size business jet.
