N91CW

This entry covers airframe N91CW, a 2020-built Gulfstream G280 with serial number 2215, currently registered in the United States. The aircraft is owned by COSTCO WHOLESALE CORP (a corporation based in Issaquah, WA, US) and appears on the US civil registry under corporate ownership. No public record of prior operators or notable registry actions is reported in the supplied data. As of the latest valuation provided, the airframe is appraised at $20,500,000, reflecting its relatively recent manufacture and contemporary systems fit.

The cabin of this G280 is configured with a forward galley, a main executive cabin typically seating 8–10 passengers and an aft lavatory, allowing for up to two distinct living areas — a layout common for corporate transport and owner-operator missions. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting modern navigation, flight management and crew situational awareness capabilities for high-density airspace operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and medium-range international trips enabled by the 3,600 nm range and long-range cruise speed of 459 kts, often flown from the owner’s base in Issaquah, WA. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will focus on scheduled support for the Honeywell HTF7250G turboshafts and avionics lifecycle updates consistent with Gulfstream/IAI program guidance.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize segment, offering a combination of high cruise speed, long range and transcontinental capability that competes with types such as the Bombardier Challenger 350 and Embraer Praetor series. Demand among corporate owners and charter operators favors the G280 for its cabin flexibility and performance; resale value for a 2020 example is reflected in the listed $20,500,000 valuation. Operators should consider ongoing maintenance planning for dual HTF7250G engines and avionics refresh cycles when assessing lifecycle costs and future marketability.
