This airframe, registered as N717HD, is an Eclipse EA500 (Eclipse 500) built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 000113. It is recorded as owned by GRAY & CO INC, a corporation based in Metairie, LA, US, and carries a United States registration.

No subsequent ownership transfers or major registry actions are published in the provided data.

The airframe features a 6-place executive cabin (typical EA500 layout), consistent with its use as a small corporate transport. Given its 1,280 nm range and 335 kts cruise speed, operations for this specific EA500 are most consistent with short to medium regional missions, executive shuttles, and on-demand corporate travel centered around its owner/operator’s base in Metairie, LA, US. Avionics and specific equipment fit are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations for this individual jet would follow typical light twin‑engine turbine practices for the model and its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A powerplants. The airframe’s valuation at $900,000 highlights its position in the pre-owned light-jet fleet for corporate operators.

The Eclipse EA500 (Eclipse 500) occupies the light twinjet niche as a small, six-seat executive jet with relatively high cruise speed and modest range, exemplified by this 2007 example. Competing models in its class typically include other very light jets and light-cabin turbofan aircraft that appeal to buyers seeking efficient regional point-to-point capability. Buyer and charter demand for this specific airframe would be influenced by its engine type, serial age (000113), and recorded ownership by GRAY & CO INC in Metairie, LA, US, while maintenance and resale considerations are guided by the aircraft’s twin PW610F-A engines and the prevailing market for used EA500s.
