N127SF2020 Gulfstream G280

Overview

This entry documents airframe N127SF, a Gulfstream Gulfstream G280 built in 2020 with serial number 2204. The type was manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace based on an original design from IAI Ltd and is registered in the US. Since new the aircraft has been held by leasing interests and is owned by Constellation Leasing LLC of Rochester, NY, US, representing a typical leasing/managed ownership model for late-production G280s.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is certificated for 21 seats but is normally fitted in a typical executive layout configured for 8-10 passenger seating, featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory with the option of up to two living areas. Avionics are the factory-installed Gulfstream PlaneView280 suite, which includes Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) and Synthetic Vision (SVS) capabilities, supporting precision operations and single-pilot capable features found across modern business jets. Operated from the owner’s U.S. base and used in lease/charter rotations, the aircraft’s mission profile typically includes medium- to long-range executive transport up to its 3,600 nm range and high-speed cruise capability. Maintenance considerations reflect Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and Gulfstream’s established airframe support network for a 2020-build G280.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize to large light business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its class include aircraft from Bombardier and Textron/Cessna that target similar range-speed payload trade-offs; buyer and charter demand tends to favour late-production examples for their avionics and engine maturity.
