N987LP

The airframe bearing tail number N987LP is a Gulfstream G280 built in 2020 by IAI Ltd, serial number 2218. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by Thomas H. Lee Management Company LLC, an LLC based in Boston, MA, US. The current record indicates standard owner-specific outfitting and a valuation listed at $17,860,968, with registry and condition highlights reflecting a relatively young, late-model airframe in the super‑mid category. No public record of prior owners or notable registry incidents is provided in the data set.

This specific Gulfstream G280 features a typical super‑mid cabin layout with up to 2 living areas, a forward galley and aft lavatory, and owner-specific outfitting reflecting the preferences of Thomas H. Lee Management Company LLC. The avionics suite installed on this airframe is PlaneView280 (Gulfstream PlaneView280), supporting typical corporate and charter operational profiles for routes within the aircraft’s 3,600 nm range and cruise speed near 459 kts. Based from Boston, MA, US, the operator profile implied by the data supports medium- to long-range point-to-point executive transport, with interior arrangements suited to combined passenger comfort and utility for business missions. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on twin Honeywell AS907-2-1G powerplants and systems common to the G280 fleet; the relatively recent 2020 build year suggests contemporary airworthiness standards and lower near-term heavy maintenance exposure compared with older examples.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super‑mid twinjet niche, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speeds paired with cabin amenities for up to 21 seats in this outfitted example. Competing models typically target similar range and speed brackets; demand is driven by corporate buyers and charter operators seeking short‑to‑mid‑international capability without the operating cost of larger heavy jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its late-model status, modern avionics (PlaneView280), and twin Honeywell engine configuration, which together influence marketability and operating economics in the pre-owned super‑mid segment.
