RADAR ESTIMATE
What N116NC is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Gulfstream G280 on its own yet, so this borrows the Bombardier Challenger 350 curve, scales it to N116NC's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N116NC
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, August 2026. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, bearing tail number N116NC, is a 2021-built Gulfstream G280 with manufacturer serial number 2221. It is owned by NDC Equipment Leasing LLC, an LLC based in Lake Forest, IL, US, and is registered in the US. No additional ownership transfers or unusual registry actions are published in the supplied data.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin is outfitted in a typical factory/typical G280 configuration for executive transport, featuring a typical 8-10 passenger executive layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory; this specific airframe is listed with 9 seats. Avionics are provided by Gulfstream PlaneView280, belonging to the PlaneView / Pro Line Fusion family, supporting modern integrated flightdeck functionality and situational awareness. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range executive transport runs up to 3,600 nm at a cruise speed near 459 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Lake Forest, IL, US or on charter/lease deployments. Maintenance considerations align with Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and Gulfstream factory component maintenance practices for a 2021-model airframe.
Model & Market Context
The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize twinjet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability consistent with a 3,600 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its segment typically include other super-midsize and large-cabin business jets offering similar speed and range; demand centers on corporate buyers and charter operators seeking high cruise speed and modern avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2021 airframe focus on engine program status for the Honeywell HTF7250G units and the airframe’s avionics configuration (PlaneView280), both factors that influence lifecycle operating costs and marketability.
