N1221Q2001 IAI 1126 Galaxy

Overview

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N1221Q, an IAI 1126 Galaxy (Gulfstream G200) built in 2001 with manufacturer's serial number 045. The airframe is recorded as owned by Nonstop Leasing LLC, an LLC based in Elmhurst, IL, US, and carries a United States registration. Transport certification and a 19-seat cabin configuration are noted for this airframe, and registry records indicate conventional leasing ownership rather than an individual private operator. No public record of major registry actions beyond the current ownership attribution is included in the supplied data; condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured under transport certification with a 19-seat cabin, consistent with a high-density transport layout rather than a typical small-cabin corporate fit; this implies aircraft utilization oriented toward charter, corporate shuttle, or fractional operations under the owner’s leasing structure. Specific avionics fit is not published in the supplied data, but the PW306A-powered Galaxy is typically deployed on medium- to long-range charter sectors; for this airframe the published range of 3,400 nm and cruise of 430 kts support transcontinental missions and extended single-leg hops. Based in the owner’s locale of Elmhurst, Illinois, the operator/home-base implication is U.S.-centric leasing activity, with maintenance considerations guided by transport-category inspection cycles and support for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series engines.

Model & Market Context

The IAI 1126 Galaxy (Gulfstream G200) occupies a niche between light and large-cabin business jets, offering transcontinental range with multi-engine redundancy and transport certification that can favor commercial charter or corporate shuttle roles. Competing types in its class include large-cabin super-mid business jets that offer similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand typically values reliability of the PW306A powerplant and the aircraft’s 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient cruise. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial (No. 045, built 2001) will center on cumulative airframe and engine cycles, transport-category maintenance history, and any supplemental equipment or cabin refits not specified in the provided information.
