N704LB

This entry covers the specific Gulfstream G280 airframe bearing tail number N704LB, built in 2019 with serial number 2197. The aircraft is manufactured under the G280 production and branding arrangement between Israel Aerospace Industries and Gulfstream Aerospace and is currently owned by RHCP 280 LLC, a corporate owner based in West Chicago, IL, US. The airframe carries a United States registration (US) and is valued at approximately $16,000,000, reflecting a late-2010s production G280 in corporate ownership and presumably maintained to meet typical business-jet standards. Recorded ownership by a West Chicago–based corporation and its US registration are the principal documented registry events associated with this airframe.

This specific G280 is equipped with Gulfstream’s integrated flight deck, PlaneView280™ (Gulfstream PlaneView280) avionics suite, supporting advanced situational awareness and flight-path management consistent with high-performance light/business jets. Typical mission profiles for an airframe with a 3,600 nm range and 482 kt cruise speed include transcontinental and near-continental nonstop sectors, positioning the aircraft for owner-operator business travel or corporate charter roles based from its documented home location in West Chicago, IL, US. Cabin configuration details for this individual serial are not published here; however, operations for this airframe would emphasize regional to intercontinental point-to-point efficiency, with maintenance and operational considerations driven by twin Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and Gulfstream-approved maintenance programs.

The Gulfstream G280 (production/branding by Israel Aerospace Industries / Gulfstream Aerospace) occupies a performance niche as a super-midsize light business jet offering a combination of long range, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models typically include other high-performance mid-size business jets that target owner-operators and charter operators seeking transcontinental capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2019 airframe with serial 2197 reflect typical market dynamics for late-model G280s: demand for well-equipped, US-registered examples remains strong, while supportability centers on continued Honeywell engine support and adherence to Gulfstream’s avionics and structural maintenance profiles.
