N858CC

This entry describes airframe N858CC, a Gulfstream G280 built by IAI Ltd. in 2017, serial 2124. The aircraft is owned by Centene Management Company LLC, an LLC based in St. Louis, MO, US, and carries a US registration. FAA records indicate a transport configuration with certification for 21 seats, a notable deviation from the typical executive interior fitted in many G280s. The airframe is recorded with an estimated market value of $14,855,402, reflecting its late-model status and factory-standard systems.

The cabin of N858CC is described as a typical executive 8–10-place layout in physical fit, while the official FAA registry shows a transport configuration certified for 21 seats, indicating flexibility between VIP and higher-density operations. Avionics are fitted with the Gulfstream PlaneView280 suite, which is Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion-based, providing integrated flight displays, navigation, and systems management tailored to the G280 platform. Operated by its owner entity in the United States, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with high-speed, long-range executive transport or corporate shuttle work across continental and transcontinental routes within its 3,600 nm capability. Maintenance considerations align with Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and factory avionics support programs typical for a 2017 G280.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range combined with high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, as exemplified by N858CC. Competitors in this class include other super-midsize and large-cabin twinjets offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand tends to favor late-model examples with modern avionics like PlaneView280. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its certified 21-seat transport capability, HTF7250G engine maintenance scheduling, and a valuation near $14.9M, factors that influence operational flexibility and marketability.
