This specific Gulfstream G280 is outfitted in a typical executive layout configured for 8–10 passengers, featuring a forward galley, an aft lavatory, and accommodations for up to two configurable living areas. The flightdeck is equipped with Gulfstream’s integrated avionics suite, PlaneView280 (PlaneView280™), supporting the aircraft’s long-range business missions. With a cruise speed of 459 kts and a range of 3,600 nm, typical operations for this airframe would include transcontinental and medium-range international executive transport missions flown from the owner’s base in Wheeling, IL, US or other U.S. locations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow factory recommendations for the Honeywell HTF7250G engine pair and Gulfstream service bulletins applicable to the G280 fleet; specific logbook entries and maintenance status were not supplied.

The Gulfstream G280 family occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range suitable for corporate and charter operators. Competing models typically include other super-midsize jets that balance payload, range, and cabin comfort; buyer and charter demand for this class centers on long-range, efficient point-to-point missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically hinge on engine cycles, avionics configuration (PlaneView280) and documented ownership and maintenance history as recorded under N696HQ.
