N90AJ

This airframe, registered as N90AJ, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI 1125 Astra (marketed as the Gulfstream G100) manufactured in 1991 with serial number 052. The certificate and registration record list ownership by the corporate trustee BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, reflecting its status as a corporate asset rather than a private individual aircraft. The aircraft is registered in the US, and its recorded market valuation is $800,000, a figure that encapsulates age, configuration, and typical maintenance needs for early-production Astra/G100 examples. Ownership by a corporate trustee suggests operation for corporate transport or asset holding rather than fleet charter use.

The individual airframe carries a typical executive two-crew cabin arrangement configured commonly for 6–9 passengers, featuring a forward galley and an aft full-width lavatory as standard executive appointments. As a corporate-registered airplane based in Salt Lake City, operations for this airframe would normally include medium- to long-range point-to-point missions within continental North America and transcontinental sectors enabled by its 2,900 nm range and high-speed cruise of 448 kts. Avionics specifics are not published for this airframe; maintenance considerations for a 1991-built Astra center on the Garrett TFE731 engine series and airframe aging items common to early IAI 1125 production examples. Cabin amenities reflect executive use rather than high-density transport, prioritizing comfort and mission flexibility for a small corporate complement.

The IAI 1125 Astra/Gulfstream G100 occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a 45,000 ft service ceiling competitive in its class. Competing models historically include contemporaneous small-cabin jets with similar performance; buyer and charter demand for older airframes hinges on maintenance status, engine times, and interior refurbishment. Resale considerations for this specific airframe center on its age (1991 build, serial 052), corporate trust ownership, and the recorded valuation of $800,000, all factors that potential purchasers and maintenance planners weigh when assessing life‑cycle costs and upgrade needs.
