N199HF2014 Gulfstream G280

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N199HF is a 2014-built Gulfstream G280, serial number 2051, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in partnership with Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Hormel Foods Corporate Services LLC, a corporation based in Austin, MN, US, which has operated the type in corporate transport roles. The entry on the registry reflects standard corporate ownership with no public record of subsequent operators or registry transfers since manufacture. The airframe’s 2014 build and corporate ownership profile suggest typical maintenance records consistent with an in-service executive transport.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is configured in a typical 8-10 place executive layout, featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory with provision for up to two distinct living areas, matching Gulfstream G280 cabin flexibility for mixed work and rest missions. Avionics are fitted with the Gulfstream PlaneView280™ integrated flight deck, supporting modern navigation, communication, and situational awareness capabilities appropriate for company shuttle, business outreach, and long-range regional missions. Operated by a corporate owner based in Austin, MN, US, the G280’s performance, mid-400 knot cruise and 3,600 nm range, suits nonstop flights across continental ranges and provides efficient point-to-point transport for executive personnel. Maintenance considerations follow typical twin-engine business jet practices, with the HTF7250G engines and PlaneView280 avionics forming the core focus of scheduled inspections and avionics lifecycle management.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G280 family occupies a super-midsize business jet niche offering transcontinental range and high cruise speed, competing with other late-entry super-midsize types. Buyers and corporate operators value the G280’s combination of cabin flexibility, up to two living areas, and the reliability of the Honeywell HTF7250G powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2014 airframe center on engine and avionics condition, overall avionics standardization with PlaneView280, and adherence to Gulfstream/IAI recommended service bulletins to maintain marketability.
