N716MD

The airframe bearing tail number N716MD is a 2018-built Gulfstream G280, serial number 2138, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The airframe is registered to Soulbird Aviation, LLC, an Oklahoma City, OK–based limited liability company that appears as the listed owner and operator. No other ownership transfers or registry actions are published in the provided data; the aircraft is cataloged with a current estimated market value of $16,000,000. Based on the owner’s location, the aircraft’s operational base is presumed to be Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States.

The cabin configuration for this airframe follows the Gulfstream G280 typical executive layout, listed as a 9–10 place arrangement with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; operator listings vary and this specific entry is operated with 9 seats. Avionics are furnished with Gulfstream’s PlaneView280 suite, supporting the type’s advanced flight-management and systems integration for business-jet missions. Typical mission profiles for this Gulfstream G280 airframe include transcontinental and thin‑overwater point‑to‑point executive transport within its 3,600 nm range and cruise speeds near 458 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Oklahoma City for corporate, charter, or private use. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine Honeywell HTF7250G support and Gulfstream factory/recommended inspection intervals for a 2018-model G280.

The Gulfstream G280 sits in the super‑midsize business jet category and competes on range, cabin comfort, and speed with contemporaries in its class. Its twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines provide a high‑thrust package for the type’s performance niche, enabling a 45,000 ft service ceiling and efficient transcontinental capability. Prospective buyers and charter operators evaluate G280s on lifecycle maintenance costs, engine support programs, and resale values; this specific airframe’s 2018 build year and estimated $16,000,000 valuation place it within typical market expectations for late‑decade G280s with full executive fitments and modern PlaneView280 avionics.
