N868LX

The airframe bearing registration N868LX is a 2015-built Gulfstream G280, serial number 2073, produced by Israel Aerospace Industries for Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is US-registered and on the books to WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is presented in operator listings with a nine‑passenger executive interior. The airframe’s factory completion and serial trace place it within the early production run of the type; its market valuation is listed at $16,000,000. No public record of additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions is listed in the supplied data.

This airframe is configured in an executive 8–10 place layout with operator listings specifically showing a 9‑passenger executive fit, indicating a typical corporate shuttle arrangement optimized for a single-cabin environment. The avionics suite is Gulfstream’s integrated PlaneView280™, supporting modern flight-deck functionality, glass displays, and systems common to G280 operations. Typical missions for this serial would include transcontinental and transborder corporate flights within the G280’s 3,600 nm range capability and cruise profile near 459 kts, with an operational service ceiling of 45,000 ft for efficient high‑altitude cruise. As a trustee-owned corporate asset registered in the US, operator and maintenance continuity is likely managed through corporate flight departments or contracted management companies; specific unique amenities or maintenance records for this airframe are not provided in the supplied data.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super‑midsize twin market, offering performance that balances transcontinental range and high cruise speed against cabin size suited to nine passengers in executive layouts. Competitors in its niche include other super‑midsize and large midsize business jets that vie on range, cabin comfort, and operating economics. The presence of Honeywell HTF7250G engines and the PlaneView280™ avionics set aligns this airframe with common fleet standards, aiding maintenance supportability and resale comparability; its listed value of $16,000,000 reflects market positioning for a 2015 model with executive fit and typical equipment.
