N686BE

The aircraft bearing tail number N686BE is a 2019-built Gulfstream G280, serial 2192, manufactured by IAI LTD. The airframe is recorded as owned by Target Corp (a corporation based in Minneapolis, MN, US) and is registered in the US. The airframe's registry reflects corporate ownership and a 21-seat certification, and its estimated market valuation is $19,000,000. Registered in the United States to a corporate operator, the airframe combines business aviation configuration options with a higher-seat certification noted on the registry.

This specific Gulfstream G280 is associated with corporate operation by Target Corp from its owner location in Minneapolis, MN, US, consistent with business and executive transport roles. The manufacturer cites typical executive cabin layouts for the model accommodating up to 10 passengers; however, this particular airframe is certificated and registered with 21 seats, indicating a configuration approved for higher seating capacity under its certification. Avionics are fitted with PlaneView280™, the factory integrated flight deck for the G280 platform. Operational use for this airframe would generally encompass medium- to long-range corporate missions within the model’s 3,600 nm radius and up to its maximum certified altitude of 45,000 ft; maintenance considerations reflect the twin Honeywell AS907 turbofan engines and standard Gulfstream support infrastructure.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies a super-midsize/light large-cabin niche characterized by transcontinental range and high-speed cruise relative to light jets. With twin HONEYWELL AS907-2-1G powerplants producing 7,765 lbf each and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type competes with similarly sized business jets for corporate buyers and charter operators. Market demand for a 2019 example with corporate registry and a valuation near $19,000,000 will depend on maintenance status, interior configuration (notably the discrepancy between manufacturer typical executive layouts and this airframe’s 21-seat certification), and availability of Gulfstream/IAI support and parts.
